00:00:00.000 And while this is going on, three Americans killed an ISIS attack in Syria.
00:00:05.400 Trump says, vows to retaliate.
00:00:09.180 He vows very serious retaliation against ISIS after deadly Syrian ambush kills three soldiers.
00:00:17.720 Go ahead, Rob.
00:00:19.360 We warned the loss of three great patriots in Syria.
00:00:24.540 You know how it happened in an ambush.
00:00:27.640 It's terrible.
00:00:28.300 We also have three wounded.
00:00:30.500 They seem to be doing pretty well.
00:00:33.260 But we mourn the loss.
00:00:34.380 These are great, three great people.
00:00:37.060 And it's just a terrible thing.
00:00:39.660 Syria, by the way, was fighting along with us.
00:00:42.060 The president, the new president of Syria is, as they told me, and I'm not surprised, he's devastated by what happened.
00:00:51.040 This was an ISIS attack on us and Syria.
00:00:54.520 And, again, we mourn the loss and we pray for them.
00:00:59.900 Tom, thoughts?
00:01:00.520 This just goes to remind you, number one, what a dangerous world it is.
00:01:05.360 But number two, whether they have seemingly sense of stability in Syria after the fall of Bashar al-Assad last year or whether there's times of peace, the undercurrent, ISIS and the extremist undercurrent, is there to be opportunistic and to kill and terror.
00:01:28.280 There is no peace with them.
00:01:30.720 Deep inside, they want to turn things.
00:01:34.040 And you could have 98.5 percent of Syria kind of moved and stabilized.
00:01:40.100 And then you've got the American flag on the shoulder of servicemen along with an interpreter and a couple other security guides.
00:01:48.060 And these guys come out of nowhere and planned it.
00:01:50.640 No, they didn't come out of nowhere.
00:01:52.080 They planned it.
00:01:53.040 They see where we are.
00:01:54.060 They see what we're doing.
00:01:55.040 They see what the assignment is.
00:01:57.100 What duty did you pull?
00:01:59.780 They see what these guys are doing.
00:02:01.300 And they come out of it.
00:02:02.500 And this just shows you ISIS has not been defeated.
00:02:05.780 Terrorism in the Middle East has not been defeated. 0.97
00:02:07.580 And every time you think it has, you have to go look at this.
00:02:10.540 And it has to be dealt with in strong terms, which is why I think what's happening on the coast of Venezuela that's very, very strong, what's the strong presence there?
00:02:21.120 Radar aircraft, surveillance aircraft, electronic interdiction aircraft, and everything that's going there, you—let me tell you, Roosevelt was right.
00:02:32.220 And I'm talking about the good one that shot bears.
00:02:35.600 Theodore Roosevelt said, you speak softly and carry a big stick.
00:02:39.100 And when Ronald Reagan named one of the newest carriers, he said, they wouldn't let me call it the big stick, so I'm just going to call it the USS Theodore Roosevelt.
00:02:48.320 But that new carrier is my big stick.
00:02:51.140 And I think this is all interrelated, Pat.
00:02:53.860 It's all interrelated.
00:02:55.560 You have to deal strongly and decisively.
00:02:58.720 The minute you think, oh, it's under control, it's stabilized, everybody's cool, they got their snap cards, guess what?
00:03:05.500 They come out, they watched.
00:03:07.240 This was an ambush.
00:03:08.300 This was an observation.
00:03:09.760 They went on a mission here because they watch us, they see us, what was going on.
00:03:13.580 This was not opportunistic.
00:03:16.700 Adam.
00:03:17.440 What did we see Trump do at the Army-Navy game?
00:03:20.400 Do we have a clip of that?
00:03:21.820 Because I think that was shortly after this.
00:03:23.620 Was he not honoring the fallen soldiers who were killed by ISIS?
00:03:27.060 Was that a component of it?
00:03:28.760 Well, he was just going to the game, period.
00:03:30.360 Okay.
00:03:30.660 Just to be the honorary, you know, he showed up for the coin toss.
00:03:34.080 Yeah, he did the coin toss, which was, and by the way, the referee did one of the dopest, like, shout-outs.
00:03:39.700 Respectful.
00:03:40.220 Because he respected the hell out of the President of the United States.
00:03:42.060 Play it.
00:03:43.360 Mr. President, would you do the honor?
00:03:47.520 Do you want to see it?
00:03:51.780 It is tails.
00:03:53.200 Army-Navy-Navy-Navy. 1.00
00:03:54.460 Damn. 1.00
00:03:54.780 You didn't see the speech before. 0.99
00:03:58.160 It was actually a very good speech.
00:03:59.320 I love the speech.
00:04:01.140 Yeah, but look, too many events, same time, two words, compatible, coexist.
00:04:09.440 We don't have to live in the same house.
00:04:11.940 We don't have to live in the same country.
00:04:14.280 You can have your set of standards, your own laws in your country.
00:04:17.280 If you think it's okay to have a 52-year-old man marry a 9-year-old girl, and that's your law in your country, we don't agree with it.
00:04:25.920 But you can have it in your country because we don't have jurisdictions over your country, right?
00:04:31.500 We're not globalists.
00:04:32.700 We're nationalists.
00:04:33.960 We love America.
00:04:35.160 That's why we want to raise our kids.
00:04:36.420 But if you want to bring that mindset of people that were raised in that kind of an environment to a place like this, guess what?
00:04:44.340 Not compatible, cannot coexist, it's going to clash, it's not going to work.
00:04:50.540 And if one company, one country has that success, attracting the type of people that love being here, well, then keep doing it.
00:04:58.720 Quit trying to force people to fit thinking you can change them.
00:05:02.840 It's like the girl that keeps dating bad boys because she thinks she can change them.
00:05:07.720 It's like the guy that keeps dating girls who have had horrible experiences with their fathers because he thinks he can change them.
00:05:14.620 No, no, compatibility coexist.
00:05:17.760 Keep those two things in mind.
00:05:19.000 It seems to be a pattern here with what we're talking about.
00:05:22.000 With that being said, guys, exciting news here on what happened.
00:05:25.560 I got a report this morning.
00:05:26.640 Let me tell you what this report is.
00:05:28.400 Do you know I got the report this morning because of Christmas shopping?
00:05:30.680 We've been doing a lot of Christmas shopping ourselves.
00:05:32.700 My son's got the longest Christmas shopping list he's ever had.
00:05:36.780 Dylan?
00:05:37.280 Oh, my God.
00:05:38.100 And by the way, so many of the items are old dinosaur, what do you call it?
00:05:43.240 Legos.
00:05:43.320 He's all into dinosaur.
00:05:44.400 Dinosaur Legos that we got to go try to find.
00:05:46.960 We got to go find.
00:05:48.220 We got to tell Santa to go find.
00:05:49.900 And he's been doing a lot of stuff.
00:05:50.880 So Christmas shopping.
00:05:52.480 You know what this is?
00:05:53.720 Since the vault till today, I've only not worn these three days.
00:05:58.640 Every day I've worn these.
00:05:59.920 And you know why this is a special week?
00:06:01.520 Because the white and the Navy are officially here being shipped out this week.
00:06:07.040 They're being shipped out this week.
00:06:08.300 So I want to give you a report that I got this morning on how many countries have ordered these shoes.
00:06:16.660 You ready?
00:06:17.540 In order, okay, of orders, of who's ordered the most.
00:06:21.200 Obviously, U.S. is number one.
00:06:22.980 Number two is Canada.
00:06:24.080 Surprisingly, Canada's number two.
00:06:25.960 I have to look to see if Pierre won it or not because I don't know if he believes he looks right.
00:06:29.080 I hope he did.
00:06:30.520 Australia, 23.
00:06:32.140 Interesting.
00:06:33.020 Australia's diehard fans of the podcast, by the way.

00:06:40.140 Then you got UAE. 0.88
00:06:41.960 UAE makes it in the top six of people wearing the shoe.
00:06:45.020 Do you know who's next?
00:06:46.100 Saudi Arabia.
00:06:47.620 Then it's Malaysia, Poland, Croatia, Bulgaria.

00:06:56.960 They did buy, though, but they're last.
00:06:59.340 So somebody there said I'm going to get a good discount.
00:07:01.520 No, no discount for the shoes.
00:07:02.940 But guess what?
00:07:03.900 To everybody that's watching this, I love the amount of people that are ordering their shoes.
00:07:07.440 Some interesting people are ordering their shoes and wearing them.
