Transcript

00:00:00.000 So Maduro rallies Venezuelan militias before U.S. warship arrival.
00:00:06.340 So check this out.
00:00:07.340 Do you know what is the most America's ever offered a bounty to an individual?
00:00:12.060 What do you think is the most money America's ever offered as a bounty?
00:00:14.520 $25 million.
00:00:15.420 To who?
00:00:16.240 Osama Bin Laden.
00:00:17.260 Osama Bin Laden and who else?
00:00:18.700 Two names.
00:00:19.520 Saddam Hussein.
00:00:20.540 Saddam Hussein.
00:00:20.980 So you know what's the most bounty we ever offered to anybody?
00:00:25.000 Maduro.
00:00:25.720 Record-breaking number one.
00:00:27.100 So a few things when you go through why this has happened and why this is such a big story.
00:00:31.140 It's a massive story.
00:00:32.300 By the way, I think we have 4,000 troops, if I'm not mistaken.
00:00:38.100 4,000 troops, okay?
00:00:40.640 They've already deployed three guided missile destroyers, USS Gravely, USS Jason Dunham, USS Samson, okay?
00:00:48.140 They designate this guy as a terrorist organization the same way they did as MS-13 and a couple different places.
00:00:54.300 Do you know how much money from Maduro they've seized?
00:00:57.420 I didn't know this number.
00:00:58.900 Do you know how much money they've seized from Maduro?
00:01:00.580 No.
00:01:01.200 $700 million of bank assets, money, accounts.
00:01:06.960 We got.
00:01:07.620 Yes, $700 million.
00:01:09.760 Private jets completely seized it.
00:01:12.340 And so the question becomes why are they doing this?
00:01:14.460 Venezuela is responsible for 25% of the entire world cocaine.
00:01:18.820 So whatever cocaine that's being used, out of four lines you do, one of them is from Venezuela.
00:01:24.400 Just kind of look at it that way.
00:01:25.600 Great, great.
00:01:26.120 What about Colombia?
00:01:27.900 They got 25% of it.
00:01:29.340 Adam, is that accurate?
00:01:29.960 It used to be Colombia.
00:01:32.200 Adam, is that accurate?
00:01:33.500 I don't know, Tom.
00:01:34.120 Do your little bubbler noise and we'll figure it out.
00:01:36.360 You snort cocaine.
00:01:37.720 You don't bubble through a bong.
00:01:38.880 While they're doing this, Trump administration allowing Chevron to resume their U.S.-only oil operations in Venezuela.
00:01:46.740 All of this stuff is going on, right, with Venezuela.
00:01:49.580 All this stuff that they're doing.
00:01:51.360 And then Maduro is trying to flip the script.
00:01:54.540 Rob, if you've got this video here to play, is this a clip, Rob?
00:01:58.100 Yes.
00:01:58.520 Go for it.
00:02:00.700 This week I'm going to activate a special plan to ensure coverage with more than 4,500,000 militia members,
00:02:09.400 Amelia, across the entire national territory.
00:02:12.080 Military, militias prepared, activated, and armed rifles and missiles for the rural force
00:02:19.660 to defend the territory, the sovereignty, and the peace of Venezuela.
00:02:26.060 By the way, for the people that don't know, that's not really his voice.
00:02:30.620 I don't know why that man, the translator, was screaming the way he was, but shout out to him.
00:02:35.880 He was actually trying to get the energy as well as Maduro was.
00:02:38.660 He's calling on Venezuelans to enlist in the national militias ahead of the potential rival,
00:02:42.900 the U.S. warships in the Caribbean, with State TV on Friday, urging men and women to sign up at army bases
00:02:48.460 and public scores, a presenter declaring, when your country calls, it's as if your mother was calling.
00:02:54.400 Maduro stated a day earlier, we call to arms all militia members to tell imperialists enough of your threats.
00:03:00.560 Venezuela rejects you.
00:03:01.500 The U.S. plans to send the things that we talked about.
00:03:04.760 Maduro has claimed the militias have 4.5 million people, though outside estimates put Venezuela's total forces
00:03:10.420 at 100,000 to 400,000 as the ranks have been hollowed out by desertions amid the oil-rich country's economic collapse.
00:03:18.600 The U.S. government, which does not recognize Maduro's last two elections victories,
00:03:22.980 recently doubled down on the $50 million.
00:03:24.600 And a lot of this is accusing him of leading the cartel de los solos, allegations Maduro was dismissed as a rotten rerun,
00:03:35.560 aiming at justifying foreign intervention.
00:03:39.020 So, Tom, what are your thoughts about what's going to end up happening here?
00:03:42.840 Well, let's play fun with math with Mr. Maduro.
00:03:46.180 It's very, very simple.
00:03:47.480 How many people do they say is in his militia?
00:03:50.200 Four and a half million?
00:03:50.940 Four and a half million.
00:03:51.380 Four point five million.
00:03:51.940 Okay.
00:03:52.560 The World Bank seems to think his population is 28.2.
00:03:56.020 Independent estimates indicate it's 26.7 to 28.
00:04:00.120 And there's one estimate at 29.
00:04:02.020 Let's just go in the middle at 28 million people.
00:04:05.020 Four and a half million people would be almost 18% of the total population is in a militia
00:04:10.300 ready to help their dictator that has destroyed their currency, shut off electricity and water,
00:04:16.420 imprisoned people, chased the highly educated out of it.
00:04:21.040 See, also Cuba, 1965.
00:04:24.200 Castro did the same thing.
00:04:25.680 And now he's been, has a bounty on his head.
00:04:29.060 You're telling me that?
00:04:29.900 And so this is why the military estimates are he only has about 100,000,
00:04:36.240 and they're really poorly armed when the shit, excuse me, when the shit starts to hit the fan from the,
00:04:42.040 you only need one of those destroyers and we're sending three.
00:04:45.480 This is, this is off the charts.
00:04:48.900 Now then, there's a very important word that's in the middle of all this reporting.
00:04:53.480 And that word is Chevron.
00:04:56.640 That's tricky.
00:04:58.060 That's right.
00:04:58.780 Yeah.
00:04:58.980 Who is, Chevron is buying oil from Venezuela.
00:05:03.900 Venezuela, what international oil group is Venezuela a part of?
00:05:09.000 And everybody forgets about it.
00:05:10.540 OPEC.
00:05:11.160 Correct.
00:05:11.960 Thanks, Tom.
00:05:12.400 They are the lone OPEC representative in the other hemisphere.
00:05:17.100 So, and they went to OPEC so that they could get pricing controls and other things because
00:05:21.520 they didn't have a working government to help.
00:05:23.760 And so right now, Maduro is just out there.
00:05:26.940 Man, this is literally a man without a country.
00:05:29.200 There will be celebrating in the streets on one hand when this guy is taken.
00:05:36.040 The other hand will be very upset that the U.S. came and did it.
00:05:39.580 You know what I'm saying?
00:05:40.640 It says, it's like, I'm glad you fixed immigration, but I hate the videos I see of you taking people
00:05:45.140 out of the fields.
00:05:46.160 Living conditions is absolutely horrible in Venezuela.
00:05:50.360 So, Pat, two things.
00:05:51.060 If we want, I mean, we have a bounty.
00:05:52.560 Let's, let's be completely honest with each other.
00:05:54.460 If we want this guy dead, he'd be dead like that.
00:05:59.580 Let's not even.
00:06:00.640 Well, you can do the CIA way or you have to do a public way where you get the citizens
00:06:04.460 to come up and hopefully vote for something of a working government.
00:06:08.360 Because when I see that, like when I think of the people, I feel bad for the people.
00:06:11.600 The same like with Iran, Pat.
00:06:13.200 Like it, besides the people having to freaking rally.
00:06:16.500 And I get it because, you know, they have everybody so, you know, scared in the military
00:06:19.880 and this and that.
00:06:20.460 But if we want, we have a bounty, but if we want him done, Tom, this guy could be done
00:06:24.780 in a week.
00:06:25.920 What's your point?
00:06:26.520 I'm just saying like, what are they waiting?
00:06:27.940 What's the bounty going to do?
00:06:28.860 Bring an awareness?
00:06:29.820 Yeah.
00:06:30.060 But what fills it in?
00:06:31.620 20, 25% of the world's cocaine?
00:06:33.700 I mean, the cocaine coming to North America?
00:06:35.540 What fills the gap?
00:06:36.880 What did we learn about Saddam Hussein?
00:06:38.700 What did we learn about the Shah of Iran?
00:06:40.320 If you come in and you just cut down the tree, you better have a plan to get shade for the
00:06:45.360 citizens because now there's no tree.
00:06:46.960 Well, I mean, but if you put a bounty, that means, hey, guys, anybody out there, if you
00:06:51.140 kill this guy or you capture him, we'll give you 50 million.
00:06:54.160 He's got the bounty set.
00:06:56.220 They want him dead.
00:06:57.000 I'm not buying that description that Tom used.
00:07:00.560 I get that that's correct in the Middle East, but nowhere in South America are Islamic extremist
00:07:05.580 terrorists taking over.
00:07:07.240 They always say, you know, what's worse?
00:07:09.280 What's on the other side?
00:07:10.160 Who will take over?
00:07:11.280 Correct.
00:07:12.000 You always think, what's worse?
00:07:12.960 What's next?
00:07:13.900 Well, we know in the Middle East, what could come next?
00:07:15.900 What could be possibly worse than a communist socialist dictatorship in South America?
00:07:22.740 Like, show me something worse.
00:07:24.580 There's no worse that can come from it.
00:07:27.540 So what?
00:07:28.000 Trend de Agua will take over Venezuela?
00:07:30.140 Venezuela already has the highest misery index in the entire Western Hemisphere.
00:07:36.180 So in the Middle East, yes, things can get way worse when a Islamic extremism group comes
00:07:41.640 in.
00:07:41.820 In the Western Hemisphere, we don't have that sick, twisted ideology.
00:07:46.040 We just have terrorism.
00:07:48.520 So I'm not buying that.
00:07:50.340 Getting Maduro out of there.
00:07:51.460 It's not about worse as much as it is, Adam, better.
00:07:53.000 How does it get better?
00:07:54.200 And people like Chevron that are heavily lobbying the U.S. government to intervene yesterday,
00:08:00.500 the entire oil producing and refining industry is in the president's ear right now and in
00:08:08.740 the ear of Marco Rubio saying, can you fix this?
00:08:12.260 Because this could be a key supplier here in this side of the world.
00:08:15.980 And so how do we put something better in place?
00:08:18.780 I'm not worried about Muslim extremism being part of the government.
00:08:22.940 I'm worried about, can we at least get closer, can we at least get a leader that's closer
00:08:27.160 to Mexico who's still corrupt and led by the cartels, but has something close to a working
00:08:32.940 government?
00:08:33.480 Well, the challenge is when you're saying Mexico, the worry is if Venezuela succeeds, Scheinbaum
00:08:40.440 is going to look at that as a case study because you know Mexico is also, you know, the claims
00:08:46.820 are that they're also being controlled by the cartel.
00:08:49.140 So we know Venezuela works directly with them.
00:08:51.660 How the hell did, when they say they see $700 million of assets, how does Maduro have $700
00:08:55.780 million of assets?
00:08:56.900 How'd you get that money?
00:08:57.700 For the oil.
00:08:58.240 Who'd you take it from?
00:08:59.360 Where'd you get that money from?
00:09:00.420 How do you have all those jets and the luxury?
00:09:01.960 What business was he in?
00:09:03.340 Did he find, did he start an oil company?
00:09:05.020 You know, when you have 80% of a country living below poverty line and 54% live in extreme
00:09:11.820 poverty lines, in some regions in Venezuela right now, there's 20-hour outages, Vinny,
00:09:19.300 200 outages a day in Venezuela, 200 outages a day.
00:09:25.220 This is water and electricity.
00:09:26.360 Yeah, I mean, it's horrible, horrible living.
00:09:30.140 And I think on the misery index, there are 178 out of 180 countries, they score 10 out
00:09:35.820 of 100 is what their scores.
00:09:37.920 10 out of 100.
00:09:38.580 There's only a couple countries worse.
00:09:40.000 Yeah, there's only a couple countries worse.
00:09:41.440 Zimbabwe and Sudan.
00:09:42.160 Yeah, it is a, you know what their inflation is?
00:09:44.620 Here we're talking about inflation being what?
00:09:46.340 What's the number we're trying to keep it below?
00:09:48.160 Below 3% a year.
00:09:49.760 Do you know what inflation is in Venezuela right now?
00:09:51.880 70 plus percent.
00:09:53.280 It was 500%.
00:09:54.600 It's at 70 plus percent.
00:09:58.280 It is, and by the way, have you ever met Venezuelans?
00:10:01.880 They're the best.
00:10:02.540 They're the best.
00:10:03.540 Oh, I love them.
00:10:04.320 They're some of the best people in the world.
00:10:08.100 Literally some of the best people in the world.
00:10:09.800 Guinness Book of World Record about 30 years ago, they were talking about the happiest people
00:10:14.020 in the world.
00:10:14.820 You know what they ranked as the happiest people in the world?
00:10:17.680 Venezuela.
00:10:18.520 Really?
00:10:18.780 People from Venezuela were known as the happiest people in the world.
00:10:21.320 We're talking decades ago, you know, but things have changed.
00:10:24.380 And so bigger concern with this is if they allow them to continue, other Maduros in South
00:10:30.860 and Central America are going to be like, oh, there is opportunity.
00:10:33.600 America will allow somebody like me to be there.
00:10:35.260 One, you got to get the oil to be circulating.
00:10:38.100 The other two, the other one is you don't want another person to want to be like him.
00:10:41.020 You don't want Mexico to be like him.
00:10:42.420 So they're kind of playing offense.
00:10:43.740 And, you know, it's going to be interesting to see what happens here in Venezuela.
00:10:46.520 Adam.
00:10:47.040 Well, this is just another case example of what communism and socialism would do to your country.
00:10:51.000 Uh, I want to say that 40 years ago, you talk about 30 years ago, Venezuela, I think was
00:10:55.940 one of the richest countries in the entire Western hemisphere.
00:10:59.540 I mean, incredible economy.
00:11:02.400 And now it's just basically an authoritarian gas station run by this dictator slash thug.
00:11:07.360 You know, they say, show me your friends or show you your future.
00:11:09.820 Who are the friends of Venezuela?
00:11:11.460 You have Cuba.
00:11:12.620 Uh, and don't get me started on all my Cuban friends in Miami who would have no interest going
00:11:18.440 back to Cuba ever again, but they love their Cuban heritage.
00:11:21.660 My people out there, Russia, China, Iran.
00:11:25.780 These are Venezuela's friends.
00:11:27.700 So there's no bueno going on in Venezuela and it's only getting worse.
00:11:31.740 So whatever the, uh, bounty is on Maduro, uh, hopefully someone cashes that paycheck.
00:11:37.380 We want to show you the campus, especially those of you guys that are going to the vault.
00:11:40.380 So if you've already bought a ticket, great.
