00:00:00.000 Here's the reason why you have a big fan base in this building.
00:00:03.460 You know, people lost it when they came in here.
00:00:05.420 They're like, oh, my God, I just met her.
00:00:08.700 They're going to be lining up afterwards to take pictures with you,
00:00:11.160 going around on the scooter of my – they're telling me you're –
00:00:14.200 I was riding the scooter.
00:00:14.940 The scooter is cool.
00:00:15.420 The scooter, my daughter's scooter and all this.
00:00:17.420 She's also so cool, and she's chill.
00:00:20.160 She's awesome. 0.83
00:00:21.120 But I think the reason why people were excited about you when you first came in
00:00:25.760 is you said something.
00:00:27.220 You said something recently.
00:00:28.420 You said the benefit of being young, you know, you want to be a statesman,
00:00:32.180 and you said you don't want to be in it for wrong.
00:00:34.500 You said in about 10 years I'm going to be out.
00:00:35.740 I think you may have said it on Joe.
00:00:37.020 I don't know where it was when he said it, but you said this recently.
00:00:39.120 That's not a long-term thing for me.
00:00:40.260 So it's not a long-term thing you want to do.
00:00:41.700 But when you came in, you said, look, here's what we're going to be doing.
00:00:45.540 You were the oversight.
00:00:46.900 I think you were on the oversight committee.
00:00:49.300 So you got MLK, RFK, JFK, Epstein, UAP.
00:00:53.700 What else did you add to that list?
00:00:55.120 9-11, everything that you came out.
00:00:57.000 All the things we all have questions about.
00:00:58.220 All the things we have questions about, right, when you made that.
00:01:00.640 Is this it, Rob?
00:01:01.440 Yes.
00:01:01.680 Or go ahead, play this clip.
00:01:03.420 It is with profound honor that I have been entrusted by Speaker Mike Johnson
00:01:06.720 and Chairman James Comer to lead the House Oversight Task Force
00:01:10.900 on Declassification of Federal Secrets.
00:01:13.760 Together with the help of the White House, our intelligence allies,
00:01:17.180 the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice,
00:01:19.740 we will be conducting investigations into the following.
00:01:22.120 The assassinations of JFK, RFK, and Dr. Martin Luther King,
00:01:28.120 unidentified aerial phenomena, also known as UAPs,
00:01:31.680 unidentified submerged objects, also known as USOs,
00:01:35.440 the Epstein client list, the origins of COVID-19, and the 9-11 files.
00:01:40.160 If you were to rank top three on which ones you've made the most progress on,
00:01:45.480 which ones would they be?
00:01:47.120 Definitely JFK.
00:01:48.700 Definitely UAP.
00:01:50.340 And I'd have to say the other ones are still flushing out.
00:01:53.140 The Jeffrey Epstein stuff, obviously, is still coming.
00:01:56.660 What's interesting about that is I actually attended a witness testimony
00:02:01.440 to the Oversight Committee.
00:02:02.900 So it was Democrats, Republicans, the Speaker of the House was there.
00:02:06.140 And we have to be careful about how we engage specifically with the witnesses right now
00:02:11.620 because they have like an open lawsuit right now with one of the banks that they're suing.
00:02:17.580 And so as members, there are certain congressional ethics
00:02:20.640 where you can't be seen to tip the scales on investigations.
00:02:24.000 And we were actually told, because at that point in time,
00:02:27.120 I had asked a specific question about if they knew if intelligence agencies were involved
00:02:32.100 and or what foreign countries were involved.
00:02:35.000 And I actually did a posting about that on my Twitter,
00:02:37.220 if you want to pull it up and read it.
00:02:39.160 And then also, too, if you just type in my Twitter on my Rep Luna account,
00:02:43.740 and then Epstein and then foreign intelligence, it might pop up on the search.
00:02:48.360 And then also, too, there was another question about if they could name names
00:02:52.200 for people that were potentially being hidden from the American people
00:02:56.340 so that we could subpoena them.
00:02:58.320 And at that point in time, their lead attorney did answer for them,
00:03:00.720 and they said that they'd be compiling a list and that they would get it to us.
00:03:04.380 But I actually inquired recently, and we haven't gotten the list yet.
00:03:08.860 So I think that there's a lot to unpack there.
00:03:11.520 But what's also interesting specifically pertaining to this is that back in,
00:03:16.320 I think it was like November of last year,
00:03:17.840 I was dragging the senator of Illinois that blocked Marsha's Blackburn's request
00:03:22.360 for the Epstein flight log release.
00:03:25.160 And then when I got elected, I was really, really hammering the DOJ.
00:03:28.420 And then we caught wind.
00:03:30.480 You're saying Pam Bondi, where you're coming out and saying, hey.
00:03:32.180 Yeah, I was the only member of Congress doing it.
00:03:34.040 I remember that.
00:03:34.560 I was the only member.
00:03:36.140 And what was interesting is right after.
00:03:37.760 And it's a tough position to take for you to do that because everybody was.
00:03:40.680 So that's where you gain because some of the audience,
00:03:43.720 like who's actually working on getting to the bottom of this?
00:03:47.000 Well, I was the only member of Congress doing it.
00:03:49.220 And so I'm going to get into how this has become politicized,
00:03:51.540 which I don't agree with, right?
00:03:52.720 And we'll get into that in a second.
00:03:54.380 But I was the only member of Congress that was like going out there and doing this.
00:03:58.960 And then in around end of February, March time frame,
00:04:02.500 I actually became aware of a whistleblower who came forward that had alleged
00:04:07.260 that there was destruction of evidence under the former deputy director of the FBI
00:04:11.280 as Trump was coming into office of information pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein
00:04:16.540 and other classified materials.
00:04:18.620 We got the name of the person that was doing it and where it was potentially happening.
00:04:23.660 And I went public with it.
00:04:25.680 I actually filed legislation for the Shred Act that would actually increase the mandatory minimums 0.71
00:04:30.600 for federal officials that were destroying evidence.
00:04:34.040 And you can actually pull this up and pull up the Fox News article.
00:04:37.560 And it actually goes into all of that.
00:04:40.380 Yeah.
00:04:41.040 Yep.
00:04:41.780 And look at the time date on that.
00:04:43.100 That's March 14th.
00:04:43.980 March 14th, yeah.
00:04:44.720 So it's all of the stuff that I've done.
00:04:46.840 I've been able to timestamp it and actually provide receipts to people
00:04:49.440 because as soon as I announced this task force, people were like,
00:04:51.920 oh, you're a part of the cover-up.
00:04:54.700 You know, you have declassification authority.
00:04:56.380 I actually don't.
00:04:57.200 The declassification authority specifically on this relies with the Department of Justice.
00:05:02.080 But then it's so much deeper than that.
00:05:03.720 So I actually had reported this directly to the FBI at the time.
00:05:06.800 And they also let up on it.
00:05:08.960 And then you saw recently that they actually, I think, had gone after some people for destroying
00:05:12.720 some evidence.
00:05:13.260 And they found Russia documents, Russiagate documents in bags, burn bags.
00:05:17.400 Do you remember hearing that story?
00:05:18.600 Yeah.
00:05:18.800 Yeah.
00:05:19.020 So that was, I think, in connection to this as well.
00:05:21.200 Because they were talking about destroying other evidence.
00:05:24.220 But then all of a sudden, it was like a switch happened.
00:05:28.840 And I don't think that the DOJ handled the rollout of the Epstein stuff as well as they
00:05:36.380 should have, period.
00:05:37.220 Right?
00:05:37.440 Like, I would have done it differently.
00:05:39.200 Nonetheless, though, what I don't like is how then it was used to try to smear the president
00:05:45.100 and imply that he was somehow a, you know, molester and a part of this, you know, Jeffrey Epstein
00:05:52.180 crime syndicate, which is not true.
00:05:53.980 The victims themselves have denied that.
00:05:56.300 But you see these press conferences with people holding signs that say Trump is, you know,
00:06:00.320 a pedophile and all this other stuff.
00:06:02.680 And that in itself is what I don't like about how the politicization of you taking victims
00:06:07.680 who do deserve justice.
00:06:09.380 And then they're using it for their own political game.
00:06:11.860 You know, this could have been declassified under Biden.
00:06:13.940 They wouldn't even touch it.
00:06:14.760 You're right.
00:06:15.340 And by the way, my argument to that, when people say stuff like that, it's like, look,
00:06:18.820 you think if they had anything on Trump, they would have let him run in 2024 as aggressively
00:06:24.520 as they would have destroyed him for him to be done and never be able to get reelected.
00:06:29.880 2016 wouldn't have happened.
00:06:30.900 And not only that, he wouldn't be as aggressive and offensive if that was going on.
00:06:39.100 You know, he wouldn't be coming out.
00:06:40.340 And so I don't think that's at all the case.
00:06:42.440 For me, it's a completely different angle.
00:06:43.460 I'm going with this because I remember when you said this, July 24th, the deep state is
00:06:47.820 stonewalling us on Epstein files, but we're breaking through new logs.
00:06:52.000 Come in, follow the money.
00:06:53.220 This is you on Twitter, I believe.
00:06:54.420 And then it continues.
00:06:55.320 September 5th, new Epstein files confirmed an intelligence connection, Saudi, Russia, Israel.
00:07:01.460 The end goal is justice for survivors.
00:07:04.380 And that was directly related to us from the victims.
00:07:06.480 Right.
00:07:06.660 That's from a month ago.
00:07:07.580 And then this week, you know, we see the letters of Leon Black, the email exchange.
00:07:12.900 I'm sure you saw that one.
00:07:13.680 I haven't.
00:07:14.040 Oh, you got to see this.
00:07:15.300 So Leon Black, who I'm sure you know who Leon Black is.
00:07:19.320 Leon Black is, well, maybe go to the story first, Rob.
00:07:22.340 So we know Leon Black is a guy that paid Epstein in consulting fees, $170 million.
00:07:32.220 That's a lot of money.
00:07:33.020 In consult.
00:07:33.580 I've never heard of that before.
00:07:34.660 Yeah.
00:07:34.860 In consulting fees.
00:07:35.580 What was he consulting for?
00:07:36.820 That's exactly it.
00:07:37.780 So when you break it down, Rob, if you just kind of type in $170 million, is that the
00:07:42.720 one?
00:07:42.940 So Mr. Epstein, Mr. Black, multiple times for $10 million, beyond $150 million, he had 0.81
00:07:49.700 already paid.
00:07:50.200 So for a total of $170 million that Leon Black paid to Epstein in consulting fees, well, he
00:07:57.880 was helping me out with estate planning, and he was helping him with tax planning.
00:08:00.600 That's a lot of estate planning and taxes.
00:08:02.080 That's a lot of estate planning.
00:08:02.920 And then the email exchange comes out right there.
00:08:07.720 Leon Black paid Jeffrey Epstein $170 million for consulting services, primarily related to
00:08:13.100 tax and estate planning between 2012 and 2017.
00:08:15.680 This was discovered during an investigation into the financial relationship, which began
00:08:19.360 after Epstein's 2019 arrest.
00:08:21.840 The extraordinary size of these fees, which vastly exceed what Black paid other advisors,
00:08:27.000 has drawn significant criticism.
00:08:29.800 So then we see these emails.
00:08:30.880 Rob, if you want to show the emails.
00:08:32.920 So the first one is this one.
00:08:36.040 And this is from Epstein to Black.
00:08:37.800 I never want to have any more uncomfortable money moments with you.
00:08:41.280 I find it very distasteful.
00:08:42.760 So to be clear, my terms are as follows.
00:08:45.300 I will only work for the usual $40 million a year.
00:08:48.640 It needs to be paid $25 million upon signing an agreement, $5 million every two months thereafter
00:08:56.400 for six months, March, May, June.
00:08:59.580 This can begin if I'm able in January.
00:09:01.960 I will immediately stop work if the payment is not received.
00:09:05.340 And if you want to go to the next one, at least for a few weeks, I am unable to commit
00:09:09.680 much time and make any future plans to guide you in the redoing of your procrastination,
00:09:15.420 produce mess.
00:09:16.140 That being said, the tasks at hand are the following.
00:09:19.180 You have a bomb of color strings that your retarded children have formed. 1.00
00:09:23.400 It has to be very carefully unwound.
00:09:25.940 What does that even mean?
00:09:27.320 Well, I don't know if you've seen the letter between the two that he wrote to.
00:09:31.020 No.
00:09:31.260 This Leon Bly character relationship with Epstein is extremely weird and concerning, to say
00:09:39.580 the least.
00:09:40.060 There's a letter he wrote to him.
00:09:41.600 Oh, yeah.
00:09:42.400 Les Wexner has been an interesting character.
00:09:44.860 He's another one.
00:09:46.080 Les Wexner, he's the one that gifted him the largest private residence in New York.
00:09:53.520 I want to say it's 50-something thousand square feet.
00:09:56.100 $77 million property that they just gifted to Epstein.
00:09:59.960 Here's a gift.
00:10:01.160 I'm sure you've got a lot of nice gifts in your life.
00:10:03.440 Not since I've been elected.
00:10:08.640 No gold bars for Luna.
00:10:11.840 Yeah.
00:10:12.380 So when you see this kind of stuff, the part that becomes problematic, and by the way,
00:10:17.640 I love, Rob, do you have the letter of Black and, I think it's, that's the one right there.
00:10:23.360 You just had it, Rob.
00:10:25.340 Oh, yeah.
00:10:26.040 Right here.
00:10:26.320 You just had it right there.
00:10:27.200 Zoom in a little bit.
00:10:27.900 So this is a letter that apparently he wrote to, Leon Black wrote to Epstein.
00:10:36.200 Go a little bit more.
00:10:37.880 A VFPC.
00:10:39.440 VFPC is a Vanity Fair poster child.
00:10:42.500 It's something to be, a VFPC is something to see.
00:10:46.060 A liver.
00:10:46.640 A lover.
00:10:47.180 A Jeff.
00:10:47.620 A Jeffrey.
00:10:48.360 Let's all give a cheer.
00:10:49.820 For today, he's 50.
00:10:51.500 Five decades.
00:10:53.820 I or half century.
00:10:55.340 I can't read the whole.
00:10:56.280 By birds and only by books.
00:10:58.640 C's and M's are his key. 0.99
00:11:00.700 Blonde, red, or brunette.
00:11:02.120 Spread out geographically.
00:11:03.800 With his net of fish.
00:11:05.920 Jeff's now the old man and the sea.
00:11:09.280 Teaching math.
00:11:10.560 Trading options.
00:11:11.620 Foreign currency.
00:11:13.280 Green eye shades.
00:11:15.700 Schemes and plans.
00:11:17.180 A unique tax strategy.
00:11:19.120 Wet dream.
00:11:20.500 And I can't see the other word, Rob, if you want to say it.
00:11:22.560 I can't read it.
00:11:23.800 Coconier.
00:11:24.300 I believe that was another term for nightmare.
00:11:26.600 Okay.
00:11:26.840 Nightmare.
00:11:27.420 An architect to Wild Spree.
00:11:29.800 Moscow, Paris, Santa Fe.
00:11:32.700 Alhambra.
00:11:33.600 East Jamboree.
00:11:36.160 Max William Delight.
00:11:37.640 A mother's treasure.
00:11:39.440 Great joy.
00:11:40.160 The most surely Harvardian patron.
00:11:43.220 Brain researcher.
00:11:45.120 For extending wannabe outrageous.
00:11:48.040 Iconoclastic.
00:11:49.100 Unconventional.
00:11:49.640 I'm having a hard time reading this.
00:11:50.680 Spirit free.
00:11:51.460 Who talks like this?
00:11:52.380 Who talks like this?
00:11:54.260 Yes.
00:11:55.140 Best of all, a dear friend.
00:11:56.280 Happy birthday, Jeffrey.
00:11:57.380 Loves and kisses.
00:11:58.080 What was the outlet that Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed?
00:12:01.620 Was it Vanity Fair?
00:12:03.320 I think it was Vanity Fair.
00:12:04.960 I saw a document.
00:12:05.520 It was.
00:12:05.980 Where he threatened the editor of Vanity Fair.
00:12:08.800 Vanity Fair who was writing an article about him before any of the sex trafficking stuff came up.
00:12:13.560 And I believe he, the editor found a deceased animal on his property.
00:12:18.780 It was.
00:12:19.120 Yeah, it was like a cat head or something.
00:12:20.780 People claim that that was a warning sign that may have been sent by Jeffrey Epstein to the editor of Vanity Fair.
00:12:25.200 So it's interesting to reference Vanity Fair.
00:12:27.120 All that to say, you know, I think that it's very possible, like you said, if there was any wrongdoing, I know this for a fact, they would have released that about the president.
00:12:36.460 He wouldn't be president right now.
00:12:37.440 So he's probably, and I always tell people this, no other politician has been, you know, basically had lawfare waged against him the way that president Trump had.
00:12:46.800 He's like clean as a whistle, this guy.
00:12:48.000 But when you look at what they did prior to Trump getting into office.
00:12:54.560 It's, I mean, I have the timestamp back then that we were notified of destruction of evidence.
00:13:00.580 So evidence tampering all of that to say that it's very possible that they did do that.
00:13:04.820 But what is without question is that there were many people hurt.
00:13:09.600 And when we were in talking with those victims, I mean, every victim, there was one woman that said that she is going through therapy right now because she doesn't remember what was done to her.
00:13:19.880 There's like massive parts of her memory that are completely blocked out.
00:13:23.560 And so she's going through certain, I guess, psychotherapy to kind of help flush that out.
00:13:29.240 But also.
00:13:29.980 Flush it out or recover it?
00:13:31.120 Recover it, like help to kind of like figure out what happened.
00:13:33.720 But also, too, that they were concerned that there would be, you know, because he had a lot of hard drives and the guy was a weirdo.
00:13:39.840 He's recording everything that they were concerned that that specific, like they wanted to maintain it.
00:13:46.300 And they were they were denied previous by previous administrations access to that information.
00:13:50.440 So they're basically asking for it so that they could help process and recover.
00:13:54.300 But at the same time, too, we are also in that same hearing.
00:13:57.420 The attorney said that there were people for the victim's attorney said that there were people calling him to like.
00:14:04.440 I don't know if it was to settle or what.
00:14:06.000 So all that to say that this is this is an active legal case in many ways.
00:14:11.220 This is now the purview of House oversight.
00:14:13.360 Right. Chairman Comer is actually using the U.S.
00:14:16.280 Treasury to actually go through some of these bank records and transactions to figure out where the money was coming from.
00:14:22.480 Chairman Comer has been really great about that.
00:14:23.860 You saw the findings that we had with the Ukrainian business dealings, ironically enough, with Hunter Biden and Burisma and all that other stuff.
00:14:32.560 So I think that there'll be some something to come of it.
00:14:35.520 The fact is, is that.
00:14:37.380 These people should not be getting off the way that they are.
00:14:40.220 And I think based on what we're being told is I think that the guy was likely foreign intelligence of some form, definitely gathering information, total pervert, total terrible person.
00:14:51.600 But, you know, the way I don't know about you, but I don't have many friends that have given me like 50 million dollar mansions.
00:14:57.700 That's $77 million property as a gift or $170 million consulting fee.
00:15:05.700 It's weird.
00:15:06.160 I've paid a lot of consulting fee over the years.
00:15:08.580 Nobody pays $170 million.
00:15:10.520 It's weird.
00:15:10.660 The only reason is so to me.
00:15:13.500 And by the way, this is what I love that happened as well.
00:15:15.520 President Trump sues Wall Street Journal for releasing whatever that letter is that he's saying is not accurate for $10 billion.
00:15:22.620 Wall Street Journal's lawyers come to the president just yesterday and ask him to please dismiss it.
00:15:30.700 Trump goes to his lawyers and says, no, no, we're not settling.
00:15:33.820 Yeah, he shouldn't.
00:15:34.660 It's slander.
00:15:35.640 Right.
00:15:35.920 Go back and let's get to the bottom of this.
00:15:37.760 So this is probably not a good look for Wall Street Journal.
00:15:40.440 And this just shows that Trump is sitting there saying, hey, if you think this is real.
00:15:44.800 So the market can look at this and say, President Trump's not worried about discovery.
00:15:50.680 Holy shit.
00:15:51.800 So maybe that's not real.
00:15:53.300 This is not a good look for Wall Street Journal that they're coming wanting to dismiss this to be done with.
00:15:58.240 After two years of working on this, we have finally pulled it off.
00:16:02.540 And let me tell you what it is.
00:16:03.840 Every time we do the Vol Conference, if you've attended, you know this.
00:16:06.700 Because I stand up and I speak for probably 45 hours is what I do at the Vol Conference.
00:16:12.640 And I love it.
00:16:13.320 I love being around the guys.
00:16:14.340 I love it.
00:16:15.080 But I wear the Ferragamo shoes when I do this.
00:16:18.380 Or I wear some kind of dress shoes.
00:16:21.060 Eventually, for the last 25 years, I've always been on stage walking.
00:16:24.320 I'm like, you know what?
00:16:24.980 I'm sick and tired of it.
00:16:26.160 I want a shoe that I'm comfortable wearing.
00:16:28.920 And here's what I love.
00:16:30.160 I don't like shoes that are so heavy.
00:16:32.080 That's a dumbbell.
00:16:32.700 You can use it as a weapon.
00:16:33.960 I don't want that.
00:16:34.540 Like the Xenia, you carry it, I have so many of them, but they're so heavy.
00:16:37.600 Like you can literally curl the Xenia, you know, the shoes and you'll get a pump within 30 reps.
00:16:42.260 And I wanted the combination of the Hoka, the On Cloud, the Super Foam, because there's a big thing going on right now with the Super Foam where the bottom of the shoe, you wear it.
00:16:51.760 You know which ones I'm talking about, the On Cloud or the Hoka's, right? 1.00
00:16:53.940 They're so comfortable.
00:16:54.540 And I said, what if we take luxury and then combine it with the Super Comfort, what would that look like?
00:17:01.560 And let's build it in Italy.
00:17:03.180 So what do we do?
00:17:03.980 We went to Italy.
00:17:05.200 We designed the shoe in Florida.
00:17:07.020 We made the shoe in Italy in five of the factories.
00:17:10.600 We went back and forth God knows how many times.
00:17:12.700 And by the way, the shoes we're about to launch and introduce to you right now where you're going to see the video for the first time.
00:17:18.040 I've been wearing those shoes for the last 22 days straight.
00:17:21.460 I'm wearing them right now.
00:17:22.380 I literally wear it with suits.
00:17:24.080 I wore it yesterday when we went to lunch.
00:17:26.040 I wear it every single day.
00:17:27.480 It's the most comfortable shoes I have.
00:17:29.380 Yet, it's authentic Italian leather wrap.
00:17:32.280 If you don't mind playing the video, go for it.
00:17:34.480 Here's the video of the latest shoe, the FLBs.
00:17:37.300 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast.
00:17:45.160 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:17:46.640 We chose neither.
00:17:48.880 Instead, we chose Toscanero.
00:17:51.220 We chose true Italian craftsmanship.
00:17:53.800 Each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:17:56.640 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail.
00:18:00.540 And we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:18:04.040 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:18:07.800 Not rushed.
00:18:09.180 Not disposable.
00:18:10.640 Not ordinary.
00:18:12.020 Rather intentional.
00:18:14.740 Luxurious.
00:18:16.020 Timeless.
00:18:16.640 Boom.
00:18:20.780 There you go.
00:18:21.540 Designed in Florida.
00:18:22.580 100% made in Italy.
00:18:24.380 50 hands touched each shoe that was made.
00:18:27.300 And here's what's unique about it.
00:18:28.520 I want to kind of show this to everybody that knows this.
00:18:30.980 And I've worn pretty much every one of these shoes.
00:18:32.820 So, if you compare this, the Italian leather, of course, it's made in Italy.
00:18:37.640 It's not assembled, made in China, assembled in Italy.
00:18:40.480 100% made in Italy, assembled in Italy.
00:18:42.820 It's FLBs, Berlutis, which are 1840.
00:18:46.180 Fergamos are 895.
00:18:47.260 Zenias are 1190 and Gucci's are 950.
00:18:50.240 Leather premium lining, all of them except for Gucci.
00:18:53.520 Laceless feature.
00:18:54.540 It's the FLBs, the Berlutis.
00:18:56.360 You have laces.
00:18:57.620 Fergamos, laceless.
00:18:59.180 And then you have also the Zenias.
00:19:00.480 And then the Gucci's have the laces.
00:19:01.800 I don't want to wake up in the morning, put laces on.
00:19:03.360 I want to get out the house.
00:19:04.100 It took me three seconds to put my shoes on today.
00:19:06.880 Craftsman, five different Italian factories all made this shoe.
00:19:10.860 Berlutis are the same as us, as well as FLB.
00:19:13.260 But the only shoe, these trainers, the only one in the world today,
00:19:17.080 according to the factories that told me this in Italy,
00:19:19.560 that has the super foam, the only one that has the same super foam used
00:19:24.000 in the On Clouds and the Hocas, it's the FLBs.
00:19:27.700 And they're officially out, and you can place the order.
00:19:30.220 Here's a challenge.
00:19:31.380 We only have 1,000 of these pairs.
00:19:34.120 And when you say 1,000 of these pairs, they start from size, I believe,
00:19:37.500 is it 8?
00:19:38.560 It goes 8, 9, 10, 10 1⁄2, 11, 11 1⁄2, 12, 13.
00:19:43.420 Those are the sizes that we have.
00:19:45.160 And the shoes that you can get today, the colors, you have access to, Rob,
00:19:48.840 if you can go back there, you can have access to those browns,
00:19:51.200 which is absolutely beautiful.
00:19:53.100 And by the way, the brown on the bottom, the stitching on the side
00:19:55.860 is a left stitching.
00:19:57.020 If you can change the picture on the bottom, it says the future looks bright.
00:19:59.980 Look at the white lines on the side.
00:20:04.480 It's beautiful.
00:20:05.340 The only ones we have right now that you can get sent out today are the black 1.00
00:20:09.520 and the browns.
00:20:10.320 If you do want the white to preorder, I would highly recommend you do so.
00:20:14.660 They're going to come out the second week of December.
00:20:16.760 So the white and the navy blue comes out the second week of December.
00:20:19.740 The browns and the blacks are available.
00:20:22.120 If you believe the future looks bright as much as we do, go place the order.
00:20:26.540 There's nothing like sitting in the boardroom with your trainers
00:20:29.480 and you put your feet over your knee and people look at the bottom of your
00:20:32.640 shoe and it says the future looks bright.
00:20:34.040 That's how you get deals done.
00:20:35.140 All right.
00:20:35.480 So they're out.
00:20:36.080 I'm excited to announce it.
00:20:37.500 And I'm very happy for people to go sport it.
00:20:39.740 When you get them, take pictures, send it our way.
00:20:41.980 We're going to show all these shoes, all the pictures that are being taken.
