00:00:03.080
there are a couple stories that we haven't gotten into,
00:00:06.000
because I know there was a couple other stories to go to.
00:00:12.940
Tucker Carlson says he plans to buy home in Doha,
00:00:24.400
So, Rob, I think you have two clips on this, right?
00:00:47.680
I've been, personally, not to make it about me,
00:00:50.340
but I have been criticized as being a tool of Qatar,
00:00:56.860
which is I've never taken anything from your country
00:01:01.140
I am, however, tomorrow buying a place in Qatar,
00:01:17.900
But that does kind of leave us in a place where
00:01:28.260
And I wonder if you feel that that means I've bought you
00:01:33.780
Just ask me whatever you want me to do for you,
00:01:36.860
But look, Tucker, unfortunately, as I told you,
00:01:42.080
that there are a lot of players putting a lot of efforts
00:01:47.340
to sabotage the relationship between Qatar and the United States
00:01:50.920
and to try to demonize anyone who will come to this country.
00:01:56.700
Our efforts when we are lobbying or doing our...
00:02:06.920
And then do you have another clip that he gets questioned on it
00:02:11.480
Yeah, there's another clip apparently that he's questioned on
00:02:34.960
He's buying a house in Doha, Qatar for what reason?
00:02:45.560
So you know how they say you're saying the quiet part out loud?
00:02:48.620
He's either completely lying or he's the most honest liar ever.
00:02:55.460
So he's been accused of taking funding from Qatar.
00:03:07.080
You know what we call the woke right these days?
00:03:10.560
Do you know what countries are the most critical of Qatar?
00:03:27.860
I'm so glad that Tucker just came out and said it.
00:03:31.660
Now everyone can do their investigating and what's going on here.
00:03:34.620
Isn't it a little weird you're buying a place in Doha, Qatar?
00:03:45.560
I can go wherever I want and speak to anyone I want to.
00:03:52.380
And some are seeking to change that and to put our population...
00:03:56.780
What does that have to do with being an American for bondage?
00:03:59.860
And when you've questioned AIPAC and you've questioned things, are you facing a consequence
00:04:27.760
You're saying I'm a proud American, so I'm moving to Doha, Qatar.
00:04:47.860
That sent hundreds of millions of dollars like terrorism.
00:04:49.980
And the United States Treasury sanctioned them for financing Al-Qaeda, for base charities
00:04:56.860
and intelligence for moving money to extremist groups in Syria?
00:05:02.200
They were the ones that Hamas was living in Doha?
00:05:07.300
By the way, you could do whatever you want to do.
00:05:09.780
I'm just confused why you would buy a house in a Muslim nation as a Christian dude.
00:05:24.680
Like, almost mad that they're even asking, why are you buying it?
00:05:27.540
Not answering the question, why would you buy it?
00:05:31.780
The answer, the reason, the rationale doesn't make sense to me.
00:05:52.820
Because I'm rich and I could buy houses and that's what I do.
00:05:57.700
To use the American excuse as that's why you're buying...
00:06:06.420
And then there's this other clip, Rob, of the investors.
00:06:11.280
But here's a network that people need to know what the link is.
00:06:19.560
And, you know, I'm happy to say that one of the first investments our new fund made
00:06:23.040
was putting Tucker Carlson in business with his new network.
00:06:31.560
That gave roughly $15 million to Tucker's network with Neil Patel.
00:06:37.560
But this guy here, just so you know, he has also got...
00:06:44.100
His background, mother is Iranian, father is Pakistani.
00:06:56.460
And he's apparently also a link with him and Donald Trump Jr.
00:07:05.340
Donald Trump Jr., I think, joined the firm in 2024, late 2024.
00:07:10.420
But to me, the challenge with this is the following.
00:07:17.400
I don't care if you buy a house in, you know, Israel.
00:07:24.040
If Ben Shapiro goes and buys a house in Israel, you know what they would do?
00:07:34.180
The only time you can't expect criticism is if you don't criticize the other side for doing exactly what you're now doing.
00:07:42.720
Nobody's got a problem with where you buy a house.
00:07:48.340
But then you kind of sit there and you realize, why are they so protective of avoiding some of the stories of Islam and Muslim and what's going on with Nigeria and what's going on with...
00:08:01.840
That's the part that some people, when they question that, they're like, why are you not openly criticizing some of this stuff?
00:08:18.340
Maybe Omid Malik is very nice to you, you know, because his family, you know, lived in New York.
00:08:27.700
Yeah, so maybe he, who is probably a good guy and a good business guy, he probably is because he was born here and he's assimilated.
00:08:39.320
And there's no need to call out people like him.
00:08:46.080
But you got to be able to call out the BS on the other side.
00:08:48.800
Like when you call out America and then you shit on America for certain things and then you're not willing to do the same for others that are, you know, doing certain things.
00:08:59.980
I mean, I respect the fact that he went and he called up Pierce a little bit and he said, hey, you free country, say it, say it, say it.
00:09:05.000
You know, that whole thing that we talked about.
00:09:06.620
Can I maybe, in a weird way, give maybe an explanation, sort of a devil's advocate to maybe what Tucker's doing?
00:09:21.340
And every time I see him, he has his good days, he has his bad days.
00:09:25.460
And on his bad days, I go, hey, dude, you got to stop.
00:09:32.760
And I said, I'm not going to tell you what to do, but I'm going to tell you kind of what you maybe want to consider.
00:09:41.760
Like when you had your drinking problem, and if I came up to you and be like, I noticed you're drinking a lot more.
00:09:53.660
You're not even willing to receive criticism or feedback.
00:09:58.400
And you put up a wall and you almost do the exact opposite of what people are telling you to do.
00:10:02.760
Like our friend that we had over here, we're like, don't do this.
00:10:08.320
I don't know if that's what Tucker's dealing with right now.
00:10:10.440
He's been accused of being anti-Israel, been accused of being anti-Semitic, being accused of taking money from Qatar.
00:10:17.440
So maybe there's an element where he's like, oh, really?
00:10:20.960
How about I go buy a house in Qatar, tough guy?
00:10:28.920
And it's just kind of like, it doesn't make sense to me, but that's the only thing I can make of it.
00:10:34.000
But Pat, like Ben Shapiro buying property in Israel wouldn't make sense.
00:10:40.720
You want to go to Israel, which you staunch supporter, go ahead and do that.
00:10:45.580
But Tucker's a Christian, talking about Christianity and everything all the time, and I respect him for it.
00:10:53.340
Why would a Christian buy property in a Muslim country where even if your wife goes, she's going to have to cover up her head and all that shit because she's a second-class citizen?
00:11:15.120
Why would you buy land in an all-Muslim country?
00:11:22.780
I would want a Christian to be like, hey, I'm going to come up with a little church here.
00:11:31.700
Explain to me when I said he's just doing it out of spite.
00:11:39.960
If you buy a house somewhere, it's like the way we make decisions.
00:11:44.980
Tom and I, we're looking at a few planes right now.
00:11:48.380
And you only buy a plane if you travel a certain number of times per year.
00:11:54.840
Like, if it's 150, 200 hours, you consider getting a jet.
00:11:58.580
Or else, if I'm buying a jet to kind of have somebody else rent it out constantly and I'm not using it, why do I need to buy it?
00:12:10.460
Because I love it and probably I'm going to be there a good amount of time per year.
00:12:15.000
You don't buy a vacation house if you're only planning on being there for a week.
00:12:18.780
You don't buy a vacation house if you're going to be somewhere for two weeks.
00:12:21.480
You buy it because you're going to be there often.
00:12:24.220
If he's buying a house in Qatar, that means he's probably planning on being there a lot.
00:12:38.000
But to a person who is investigating it can follow and say, why?
00:12:56.800
And they're paying him around $230 million a year.
00:13:09.440
He chose to go live there because he's playing there.
00:13:21.300
And, you know, I don't know all the things here on what's going on.
00:13:34.400
You're asking me a question like, would I buy, okay, I go to Aspen, let's just say,
00:13:48.520
Yeah, matter of fact, I'll show you one of the things we're looking at right now.
00:13:51.100
I'll show it to you while we're going through this.
00:13:52.440
Tom, I think you want to say something before I go to the next door.
00:13:55.120
So I looked up who's buying, what Westerners are buying in Doha, Qatar.
00:14:04.960
The number one real estate group in Doha is now number one, Sotheby's.
00:14:13.280
I mean, from Fisher Island to Billionaire's Beach from 14th to 22nd down there, down South
00:14:20.540
And Southern Europeans, Italy, even people that live in South of France who have trouble
00:14:27.860
finding availability in Monaco have purchased places.
00:14:33.220
If you're in Italy, it's not a big flight to go down to Doha.
00:14:41.660
And so apparently there's a lot of Western acceptance there.
00:14:51.720
And it says, and you'll find right in here, European decor.
00:14:58.180
Luxury penthouse, 2.26 million bucks, you know, four bedrooms, five bathrooms.
00:15:04.440
And you'll notice they'll give you a four-year payment plan, which is $47,900 a month.
00:15:15.040
But the point is there has been a concerted effort to live golf and a lot of other things.
00:15:22.780
Everybody down on what's called the Big Peninsula, which is Saudi Arabia and everything, right?
00:15:27.220
To attract people coming from Western cultures down there.
00:15:34.180
However, I just mentioned, you know, Adam and I are neighbors in Rome.
00:15:43.960
But we're like, hey, we're very successful business owners.
00:15:56.820
And it only takes us, you know, six hours to get there on a flight.
00:16:01.700
But why would a guy from Maine go halfway around the world, you know, to do that when the Bahamas are right here with all kinds of stuff available in the Bahamas?
00:16:15.680
Like, now this kind of makes sense because, like, for instance, when we sit on a podcast like this and, like, October 7th happens or this happens or whatever.
00:16:34.700
Then when you have somebody like Tucker who's critical and then starts talking and then it keeps pushing and then pushing for the other side.
00:16:42.220
And then you see him buying houses in a place that basically sponsors terrorism.
00:16:52.060
James O'Keefe where he goes, what's your price?
00:16:56.200
Because if the price is not your life, then guess what?
00:17:03.380
Obviously accomplished journalist, yada, yada, yada, yada.
00:17:07.580
He started off that phrase by saying, I'm not a tool of Qatar.
00:17:17.220
None of us were trying to make sense of why you would move.
00:17:28.940
I plan on coming and visit a couple times a year.
00:17:33.260
That's, you remember we gave out shirts, plant your flag?
00:17:36.580
Buddy, you haven't even bought a place in Fort Lauderdale yet.
00:17:44.920
If you love Christmas as much as we do, Kai, we got three Christmas trees in the house.
00:17:50.760
Every Christmas when Thanksgiving ends, that following Friday, I have to carry this 10-foot
00:17:56.740
tree that weighs 600 pounds, and the family waits for me to come through, and we get this
00:18:01.220
big tree, we put it in there, and I go up the ladder.
00:18:04.020
And I'm telling you right now, every year, I'm getting closer to falling.
00:18:13.820
I'm so high that if a little bit slips, I'm falling on my back.
00:18:22.260
And it's always like, can you put the star all the way up top?
00:18:25.380
I'm like all the way trying to put this thing up.
00:18:34.120
Obviously, everybody loves it, and Dylan loves decorating the tree.
00:18:37.520
I hope for those of you guys that do as well, we love Christmas, and our Christmas
00:18:44.100
And the hat that we couldn't keep, a single one of these.
00:19:00.820
And people were buying it as Christmas gifts for others, and then they were sending it
00:19:09.500
On the bottom and on the side with the VT logo.
00:19:27.380
If you want to go to this one, Rob, this Christmas on the bottom right.
00:19:34.940
Folks, look at our models wearing their, and these come with a nice, look at this.
00:19:51.980
Forget about the socks Vinny's wearing that made it in there.
00:19:58.840
So if you want your whole family to be wearing the pajamas, the Merry Christmas.
00:20:10.420
And we decided for everybody that does it, we just order a few thousand of these.
00:20:15.640
You're going to get the Valuetainment Merry Christmas ornament that we're going to give to you.
00:20:29.820
Kamala Harris doesn't want you to say Merry Christmas.
