00:00:00.000 So watch this. Freed, Israeli hostage, says Hamas captors were rooting for Harris to beat Trump.
00:00:08.380 Now, why would they be doing this? This is on CNN.
00:00:10.840 And CNN is interviewing this guy, just got freed, trying to get some gotcha information,
00:00:16.320 and he kept giving him the answer they did not want to hear.
00:00:21.600 He was held hostage for 500 days before he was freed.
00:00:24.780 Says the captors were hoping Vice President Kamala Harris would win in 2020 for a president election, and here's why.
00:00:30.000 Very scared of him. Yeah, they wanted...
00:00:32.400 Who?
00:00:33.480 Terrorists.
00:00:34.280 Were afraid of Trump.
00:00:35.200 Yeah, they wanted Kamala to be chosen, to be elected. 0.97
00:00:39.060 You talked politics with them?
00:00:40.640 Yeah, yeah, yeah. They wanted Kamala to be elected. 1.00
00:00:44.120 When Trump came into... became president, yeah, the way they treated us changed.
00:00:53.260 For me, personally, this is what I felt.
00:00:55.340 I think because they anticipated that a deal would come soon.
00:00:58.260 Yeah.
00:00:58.500 And that's when they started giving you more food.
00:01:00.720 Exactly.
00:01:01.400 More food, treated me better, you know, stopped cursing me, stopped spitting on me.
00:01:07.320 Vinny, thoughts?
00:01:08.360 I mean, just that right there just shows you how much respect and fear Trump had.
00:01:16.440 The fact that terrorists have a hostage, and they went from beating him up all the time,
00:01:21.620 spitting on him, doing whatever, God knows what to him,
00:01:24.140 to changing everything because they knew Trump was going to put in.
00:01:26.520 And I still, pal, I was thinking about this today, especially with whatever podcast we have coming up,
00:01:30.860 the bullet that we dodged with Kamala Harris and the left and what they were pushing
00:01:35.960 and all these fake-ass people like Jake Tapper all acting surprised about Biden
00:01:40.260 and what they've been doing since 2016.
00:01:42.420 And it's going to keep going.
00:01:44.440 What we've been dodging and what we've been fighting to get to where we are is insane.
00:01:49.460 And it goes beyond words to see what type of leadership that we have right now.
00:01:54.200 And I just hope, yeah, I just hope it keeps going.
00:01:57.680 I mean, the first question I have is how much credibility do you give to the hostage after his release?
00:02:03.100 Do you think he's telling the truth?
00:02:04.440 Of course.
00:02:04.800 There's a lot of, I would say 90% chance he's telling the truth.
00:02:08.440 Why would he make it up?
00:02:09.900 I don't know.
00:02:10.620 You know, I'm not saying that he's lying at all.
00:02:13.440 I think there's a big component of this that, yes, Hamas and their backers 1.00
00:02:18.720 would love to see a weak president named Kamala Harris in the Oval Office. 1.00
00:02:23.700 I think, no doubt.
00:02:24.880 I think Trump's a little frustrated that he hasn't gotten all the hostages out.
00:02:28.120 I think Trump has used a lot of bluster and says, all right, today's the day.
00:02:33.320 If you don't have it today, oh, all right, next week.
00:02:36.000 I think Trump has no problem setting deadlines and then basically sort of says, all right,
00:02:41.360 we're going to extend it.
00:02:42.040 We're going to give it another couple of days, couple of weeks.
00:02:43.540 We'll see what happens there.
00:02:44.800 There's still, I think, over 50 hostages in the tunnels of Hamas, which leads us to basically
00:02:52.240 what happened this past weekend when an illegal immigrant, I think, basically from Egypt, I
00:02:59.860 want to say, basically went and set fire a Molotov cocktail in Boulder, Colorado.
00:03:07.000 So they're coming to a city near you, whether you like it or not.
00:03:10.860 And it's weird to me that, you know, anytime you see gays for Gaza, it's like this weird 1.00
00:03:15.940 like marriage of the far left and the far right where both lost their damn minds come 0.91
00:03:23.240 together and this is what you get.
00:03:24.720 You want to play this clip?
00:03:25.480 Do we have something?
00:03:26.260 No, no, no.
00:03:26.720 Let's stay on this.
00:03:27.400 Hang on a second.
00:03:27.980 Tom, your thoughts on the story.
00:03:29.280 Well, first of all, I'm glad that.
00:03:31.160 Adam, hang tight when we transition stories.
00:03:33.540 Let's address stories and then we'll transition.
00:03:35.140 Go ahead, Tom.
00:03:35.420 Yeah, I'm very glad that Omer Shemtav is, if I'm pronouncing his name correctly, is home,
00:03:41.580 safe and able to tell the story.
00:03:43.480 I don't evaluate whether it's 92 percent, 90 percent, but it makes sense.
00:03:47.880 And it shows you the importance of strong leadership on a world stage.
00:03:52.740 If all we do is talk about what this guy said and maybe they did, maybe they didn't, you're
00:03:57.200 missing the fact that strong leadership on a world stage makes a difference in the world
00:04:01.560 for everybody.
00:04:02.580 And I believe what he's saying.
00:04:04.500 I believe what others have said, that they wanted weak U.S. leadership.
00:04:10.280 They wanted Pablum coming out of the White House.
00:04:13.740 That's what they wanted.
00:04:14.760 And when you had strong leadership come in, I want those other 50 people home and I want
00:04:18.980 us to finish the job.
00:04:20.380 Because people feared Trump when he came in and they feared him for the right reasons.
00:04:25.400 And I want to see this job finished.
00:04:27.200 And I want those other 50 people like Omer Shemtav to come home. 0.80
00:04:30.380 Yeah.
00:04:32.720 So look, I mean, obviously what you like when we were talking about the four qualities,
00:04:37.380 respect, love, like, fear.
00:04:39.560 When you see an interview like this, you want your leader to be feared by other countries.
00:04:45.020 Nobody feared Biden.
00:04:46.820 Literally nobody.
00:04:47.800 Yep.
00:04:48.040 And nobody feared Kamala.
00:04:50.820 No one did.
00:04:51.620 No one feared Kamala.
00:04:52.240 Quite the opposite.
00:04:53.040 Quite the opposite.
00:04:53.820 Yeah.
00:04:54.040 So they did want something like that.
00:04:55.940 So for God like that to be in a White House that imposes fears on our enemies, you want
00:05:00.280 that.
00:05:00.500 You like that.
00:05:00.900 That's a good thing for us to have.
00:05:01.840 If you believe the future looks bright and you live in Florida, Texas, California, or
00:05:08.620 New York, in that order, by the way, of the hats, the hats are available for your state
00:05:13.100 where you get to where future looks bright and on the site has your state on it.
00:05:17.360 I think the Florida numbered hats, there's three left on the numbers for Florida, but the
00:05:21.120 rest of them, there's a few left for you to go order.
00:05:24.140 Rob, do you have a video on this or no with the hats?
00:05:25.980 Yep.
00:05:27.120 Press the video on this here.
00:05:28.180 You can go ahead and play it.
00:05:29.160 And it tells you, so on the cover it says future looks bright, vitamin logo on the other
00:05:33.740 side.
00:05:34.080 You got Florida, California, Texas, and New York.
00:05:38.600 If you're proud of your state where you live in and you believe the future looks bright,
00:05:44.120 go sport it.
00:05:44.840 And by the way, we got emails from people saying, how about our state?
00:05:48.140 How about this?
00:05:48.820 How about that?
00:05:49.680 Look, we even had a couple guys that ordered the hats and send it to people that live in
00:05:53.460 Texas, New York, California, Florida, and a lot of good commentary.
00:05:56.840 I was tagged on a bunch of different gifts that people got.
00:05:59.160 So go place your order, go to vtmerch.com, place the order for the hat that represents
00:06:02.500 your state, or buy it as a gift for somebody that lives in those states.
