00:00:00.180 Venezuela, okay?
00:00:01.900 Trump escalates pressure on Venezuela,
00:00:04.240 but endgame is unclear.
00:00:07.320 If you go on Marco Rubio's tweet, Rob,
00:00:10.760 if you don't mind,
00:00:11.500 this is where Marco Rubio,
00:00:12.840 suddenly the U.S. decides
00:00:15.080 to put Venezuela on Maduro,
00:00:18.700 on a list.
00:00:19.800 And what kind of a list is this?
00:00:21.120 Not just any list.
00:00:23.040 And when you see a list like this,
00:00:24.840 what does it make you think about?
00:00:26.520 Watch this.
00:00:27.300 State Department intends to designate
00:00:31.000 Cartel de los Soles
00:00:33.340 as a foreign terrorist organization, FTO,
00:00:37.200 headed by illegitimate Nicolas Maduro.
00:00:40.420 The group has corrupted the institutions
00:00:42.420 of government in Venezuela
00:00:43.720 and is responsible for terrorist violence
00:00:46.160 conducted by and with other designated FTOs,
00:00:51.340 as well as for trafficking drugs
00:00:53.580 into the U.S. and to Europe.
00:00:56.220 When you do something like that, Tom,
00:00:58.840 if the average person was to read that,
00:01:01.020 can you interpret what that really means?
00:01:02.920 To me, it only means one thing,
00:01:04.080 but what does it mean to you?
00:01:05.460 Well, a week ago,
00:01:06.480 Maduro was saying,
00:01:08.460 can you please remove the bounty on me?
00:01:10.820 And there were rumors that unsubstantiated
00:01:13.300 as to how many things he said.
00:01:16.060 But apparently a week ago,
00:01:17.480 he was trying to negotiate backdoor
00:01:19.300 with the U.S. government
00:01:20.120 to remove the bounty
00:01:23.800 and to figure something out, right?
00:01:25.640 What this means is,
00:01:28.140 dude, did they just double the bounty
00:01:30.780 and they're doubling down
00:01:31.980 on the language on the bounty?
00:01:33.740 I mean, if you're a Maduro,
00:01:35.440 I mean, don't go on a...
00:01:37.940 You weren't going to go on a fishing boat
00:01:40.040 in the middle of a lake.
00:01:40.920 You might get hit.
00:01:41.980 So it's like,
00:01:43.100 be careful where you do.
00:01:45.160 So it's a bad time for him to go fishing.
00:01:46.480 A bad time to be on a boat in your driveway.
00:01:48.940 Are you kidding me?
00:01:49.560 Well, I mean, put my back.
00:01:50.280 If what he's basically...
00:01:51.660 Like me, the average Joe,
00:01:52.840 if I read that,
00:01:53.600 if you're designating them as terrorists
00:01:55.900 and he's the head of it,
00:01:57.980 you're a terrorist leader. 0.89
00:01:59.540 But what does that mean, then? 0.89
00:02:00.440 That means that we could go
00:02:01.160 and attack on the land as well.
00:02:02.640 We don't have to worry.
00:02:03.260 Exactly.
00:02:03.960 Wherever they are,
00:02:04.740 we're going to send missiles.
00:02:05.860 That means if a tomahawk lands
00:02:07.540 in your oatmeal,
00:02:09.120 that there's nothing you can do about it.
00:02:11.980 Which means Marco Rubio and Trump
00:02:13.580 could have followed up with a T-shirt
00:02:15.680 with the White House logo on it
00:02:17.060 saying Fafo.
00:02:18.480 Right?
00:02:19.380 And my dude has a picture on it.
00:02:21.000 Right?
00:02:21.240 And that would have sold well.
00:02:22.820 Can I ask you a question
00:02:23.540 from someone that's not...
00:02:24.760 I haven't been following this much.
00:02:26.260 I just see the bombing of the boats
00:02:28.680 and I see the outraged people
00:02:30.100 like Charlemagne the God
00:02:31.720 was like,
00:02:32.340 they could be fishermen.
00:02:33.920 Whatever.
00:02:34.860 Charlemagne.
00:02:35.180 He didn't say that.
00:02:36.280 He said that they...
00:02:36.980 Yeah, him and...
00:02:37.600 He said they could be...
00:02:38.920 I just love that podcast.
00:02:40.000 Well, you know what's really funny about that?
00:02:41.540 In the late 80s,
00:02:42.820 you know what they used to call
00:02:43.740 the marijuana that would wash up in Florida?
00:02:45.820 What?
00:02:46.320 Square groupers.
00:02:47.840 Oh, that's hilarious.
00:02:48.620 So maybe he was out...
00:02:49.720 Charlemagne's out there
00:02:50.580 fishing for square groupers.
00:02:51.660 Yeah.
00:02:52.140 So here's my question.
00:02:54.140 Is America getting involved?
00:02:56.780 I mean,
00:02:57.060 if you look at the surface,
00:02:58.200 okay, they're sending boats, Maduro.
00:02:59.820 Are they trying...
00:03:00.620 I've heard some people saying
00:03:01.780 that they're trying to...
00:03:03.140 Because the CIA's done this before.
00:03:04.720 Get rid of a leader
00:03:05.780 and put somebody that we want in there.
00:03:07.640 And my question is,
00:03:08.420 why would they want to do that?
00:03:09.560 What does Venezuela have that we want?
00:03:10.860 Can you see bored CIA agents
00:03:12.800 at Starbucks this morning?
00:03:14.240 Hey, man,
00:03:14.800 you see they got the...
00:03:15.840 They got the bounty on his head?
00:03:18.920 Yeah.
00:03:19.080 He says, yeah.
00:03:19.580 Yeah, but you see what the president did
00:03:21.520 over the weekend?
00:03:22.180 Yeah.
00:03:22.400 Yeah, we're in.
00:03:23.240 Yeah, we got it.
00:03:24.060 What's this?
00:03:24.580 We can go out and play.
00:03:25.840 Go ahead.
00:03:26.080 Let's play.
00:03:26.580 Let's watch this.
00:03:27.760 He didn't say that.
00:03:28.480 Out there fishing.
00:03:29.260 Yeah.
00:03:29.600 Out there fishing.
00:03:29.820 You know what I'm saying?
00:03:30.620 And they just said,
00:03:31.300 nah, that's a drug boat. 1.00
00:03:32.100 Do y'all really believe
00:03:33.920 that they're just blowing up
00:03:34.900 fishermen in Venezuela?
00:03:36.060 I think it's possible.
00:03:36.740 I think it's possible.
00:03:37.560 Come on, y'all.
00:03:38.440 Yes.
00:03:38.880 This is where you lose the plot.
00:03:40.420 This won't be the first time
00:03:41.540 that the Trump administration
00:03:42.480 has not measured twice to cut once.
00:03:44.500 Yeah, but this is where...
00:03:45.540 It's the same guy who's using signal.
00:03:46.820 Yeah, but this is where
00:03:47.660 you lose the plot, man.
00:03:49.380 Like, this is what's going to happen.
00:03:50.600 Well, here's the thing.
00:03:51.300 To your point...
00:03:52.000 It's like getting upset at Trump
00:03:53.040 for renovating the White House.
00:03:54.160 Like, there's all these people
00:03:55.560 who've never even been 1.00
00:03:56.460 in the fucking White House. 1.00
00:03:57.640 What if you're just out there fishing? 1.00
00:03:59.000 Yeah, like, they're out there fishing.
00:04:00.320 By the way, Charlemagne,
00:04:01.300 I don't take anything
00:04:02.220 that he says serious.
00:04:03.220 Everything he's saying,
00:04:03.960 he's reading off of his phone
00:04:05.760 or off his computer
00:04:06.760 on the Breakfast Club.
00:04:07.840 But I'm thinking,
00:04:08.800 what does Venezuela have?
00:04:10.240 What's there that...
00:04:12.080 If we had to go there
00:04:13.660 and take rid of Maduro
00:04:15.140 and put in our guy,
00:04:16.460 what does Venezuela have, Tom?
00:04:17.560 Is it minerals?
00:04:18.480 Is it oil?
00:04:19.660 What does Venezuela have?
00:04:20.740 I'm just curious.
00:04:21.580 I'm trying to piece it together.
00:04:22.840 Aripas, cachapas,
00:04:24.480 you know, they got a few things.
00:04:26.100 If you're being sarcastic,
00:04:27.180 if you want to rap,
00:04:28.500 can you go pull up
00:04:29.420 the biggest oil reserves
00:04:31.080 in the world by country?
00:04:32.720 Go look it up, Rob,
00:04:33.520 if you don't mind.
00:04:34.720 They're like the one member of OPEC
00:04:36.660 that's not in the Middle East.
00:04:38.160 Oh, okay.
00:04:38.780 So I get it.
00:04:39.360 Type in biggest oil reserves
00:04:41.040 in the world.
00:04:42.300 Oh, man.
00:04:43.380 In the world by ranking.
00:04:44.740 Yeah, there you go.
00:04:45.320 So check this out.
00:04:46.080 Watch this.
00:04:47.220 Watch this where they rank.
00:04:48.320 They have this thing called oil.
00:04:49.680 Oh! 0.60
00:04:50.620 Then what are we...
00:04:50.980 303 billion barrels.
00:04:53.940 Look who's number two.
00:04:55.580 Saudi,
00:04:56.260 that you think
00:04:57.140 is one,
00:04:58.100 is two.
00:04:58.660 Then it's Iran, 0.96
00:04:59.260 then it's Canada,
00:04:59.800 then it's Iraq.
00:05:00.360 So I can understand
00:05:01.600 how or why we would want him to say...
00:05:03.400 Listen, I think to me
00:05:04.060 it's a couple different things.
00:05:05.180 I think one is probably
00:05:06.280 this is a,
00:05:07.540 you know,
00:05:07.920 one thing that I think
00:05:10.420 the president
00:05:11.020 is aware of,
00:05:13.160 I think that,
00:05:14.040 like,
00:05:14.240 when you bring your leaders in,
00:05:16.480 you want your secretary of state
00:05:18.020 to be the best one ever.
00:05:19.160 Yeah.
00:05:19.740 You want your VP
00:05:20.580 to be the best one ever.
00:05:21.840 You want your guys
00:05:23.020 to do the best ever,
00:05:23.980 and I think it's his
00:05:24.780 way of giving them
00:05:26.300 the victory for 2028.
00:05:28.840 And I think this is going to be
00:05:29.720 a big victory for Rubio.
00:05:32.040 Rubio's going to pick up
00:05:32.880 this victory
00:05:33.380 if they're able to do
00:05:34.760 what they're doing
00:05:35.300 with Venezuela.
00:05:36.160 By the way,
00:05:37.040 a lot of people are like,
00:05:38.500 well,
00:05:38.860 I don't think we should
00:05:39.600 use taxpayer money.
00:05:40.800 I know this Chilean guy
00:05:41.720 who's an insider
00:05:42.440 with the CI,
00:05:43.980 but I don't want,
00:05:45.680 you know,
00:05:48.000 the money for this
00:05:49.120 because what if this
00:05:49.940 and what if that?
00:05:50.620 And I get that argument
00:05:51.540 as well on the taxes,
00:05:52.680 but I think it's one,
00:05:54.240 this is Rubio's victory.
00:05:55.860 Two,
00:05:56.760 it's the oil to protect.
00:05:58.200 They're close to us.
00:05:59.160 They're not that far,
00:06:00.260 you know,
00:06:00.500 it's not like you're dealing
00:06:01.240 with somebody
00:06:01.620 in the Middle East.
00:06:02.680 I think those could be
00:06:03.540 some of the reasons,
00:06:04.260 but who knows?
00:06:04.740 Adam, your thoughts.
00:06:05.400 Not everything
00:06:06.340 has been encapsulated here.
00:06:07.540 I think I'm on Team Trump
00:06:09.160 here, man.
00:06:09.680 I mean, look,
00:06:10.560 if we kind of boil down
00:06:11.640 what's going on
00:06:12.120 with Marjorie Taylor Greene,
00:06:13.040 with Thomas Massey,
00:06:13.820 with all these individuals
00:06:14.680 out there,
00:06:15.440 I actually totally understand
00:06:16.340 where they're coming from
00:06:16.920 because who's their allegiance to?
00:06:18.340 It should be as a representative
00:06:19.740 to their constituency.
00:06:21.260 Love that word.
00:06:22.020 Your favorite word.
00:06:22.300 Great word.
00:06:22.940 But as you get bigger
00:06:24.340 and you're responsible
00:06:25.640 for more people,
00:06:27.280 your message needs
00:06:28.100 to start to unify
00:06:29.180 and your message
00:06:30.280 needs to go from me
00:06:31.460 to we.
00:06:32.440 So when you go
00:06:33.560 from representative
00:06:34.900 to senator
00:06:35.920 to governor
00:06:36.780 to president
00:06:37.780 of the United States,
00:06:38.780 you have a lot more people
00:06:39.900 that are leaning on you
00:06:41.160 and the agenda
00:06:42.320 is that much more important.
00:06:44.140 So to me,
00:06:44.680 I totally understand
00:06:45.520 why Trump
00:06:46.440 is doing all these
00:06:47.280 amazing things.
00:06:48.380 Tariffs,
00:06:49.180 border,
00:06:49.920 peace deals,
00:06:50.480 everything,
00:06:50.860 and you have this one
00:06:51.480 thorn in your side
00:06:52.480 and Trump is not the type
00:06:53.880 of person that
00:06:54.340 amends words.
00:06:55.500 He said,
00:06:56.460 all I care about
00:06:57.960 is getting back
00:06:58.780 on message.
00:07:00.320 This is removing
00:07:01.980 that sort of angst
00:07:03.620 that he has going
00:07:04.120 on right there.
00:07:05.440 Rob just asked
00:07:06.180 a very good question
00:07:07.220 on the poll.
00:07:09.740 Will the U.S. military
00:07:11.800 conduct land strikes
00:07:13.480 in Venezuela?
00:07:14.400 I'd say yes.
00:07:15.740 Land strikes 0.71
00:07:16.720 in Venezuela?
00:07:17.680 Because Rubio's saying
00:07:18.560 that they're going
00:07:18.920 to be,
00:07:19.380 because if he's labeled
00:07:20.100 them terrorists,
00:07:20.840 bro, 0.99
00:07:21.460 they're going to go,
00:07:22.240 it's not just going
00:07:22.760 to be boats.
00:07:23.760 So I think they have
00:07:24.360 to be very,
00:07:24.820 very careful.
00:07:25.200 And one of the things
00:07:25.980 that wasn't brought up
00:07:26.780 just now is that
00:07:27.740 you have to keep in mind
00:07:28.720 just how much
00:07:29.420 China has in Venezuela.
00:07:31.400 China made, 0.97
00:07:32.580 it's under $100 billion,
00:07:34.100 but I think it's
00:07:34.660 heading toward there
00:07:35.580 in loans that they've
00:07:36.740 made to Venezuela
00:07:37.380 for oil production.
00:07:39.020 And CNPC,
00:07:40.380 which is Chinese
00:07:41.100 National Petroleum Company,
00:07:42.820 has all these JVs.
00:07:44.580 Remember,
00:07:44.720 we can find out
00:07:45.320 how many JVs
00:07:46.240 they actually have.
00:07:47.440 Two years ago,
00:07:48.500 there were leaks
00:07:49.400 coming out that,
00:07:50.280 no, no,
00:07:50.480 it was one JV.
00:07:51.120 No, it was two.
00:07:51.660 No, it was three.
00:07:52.400 Wall Street Journal reported
00:07:53.460 that there was more
00:07:54.440 than that.
00:07:55.200 That they've got
00:07:55.840 all these JVs
00:07:56.880 going around,
00:07:57.460 not get there.
00:07:58.140 So if you're going
00:07:58.800 to get in there,
00:08:00.040 you've got to be careful
00:08:00.760 in these coastal areas
00:08:01.820 because there's a bunch
00:08:02.680 of Chinese projects
00:08:03.760 that are there
00:08:04.260 and you don't want
00:08:05.180 to piss them off
00:08:06.120 at a time
00:08:06.580 where you're trying
00:08:06.960 to negotiate.
00:08:08.220 Venezuela is a 0.99
00:08:09.460 freaking Jenga game 1.00
00:08:11.500 here in our hemisphere.
00:08:13.680 Did you see
00:08:13.960 who's sending
00:08:14.480 protection to Venezuela?
00:08:16.340 Did you see
00:08:16.840 who's sending
00:08:17.240 protection to Venezuela?
00:08:18.500 No, I did not.
00:08:18.940 Have you seen that, Rob?
00:08:20.680 Have you seen
00:08:21.120 who's sending
00:08:21.720 protection to Venezuela?
00:08:22.920 Who is it?
00:08:23.260 Okay, I'll send
00:08:24.120 you this, Rob.
00:08:24.560 Is it Russia?
00:08:25.320 Because Russia 0.80
00:08:25.740 has tended
00:08:26.520 to back up
00:08:27.340 customers of its weapons.
00:08:29.600 Okay, Rob,
00:08:30.500 do me a favor.
00:08:31.760 Watch this here, Rob.
00:08:32.940 I'm going to see.
00:08:33.380 Go ahead and play
00:08:33.960 this clip.
00:08:34.360 Watch this.
00:08:34.740 Go for it.
00:08:35.180 Iran is sending drones
00:08:38.240 to Venezuela
00:08:38.860 for Venezuela
00:08:39.540 to use in potential
00:08:40.640 strikes against
00:08:41.280 American warships.
00:08:42.520 If the U.S. 0.96
00:08:43.440 decides to f*** 0.96
00:08:44.020 on Venezuela, 0.99
00:08:45.080 this could turn
00:08:45.740 into a major
00:08:46.360 international crisis.
00:08:48.100 Venezuelan officials
00:08:48.900 said,
00:08:49.740 we are almost
00:08:50.320 certainly in need
00:08:51.100 of these Iranian 0.80
00:08:51.720 drones with a range
00:08:52.720 of 1,000 kilometers.
00:08:54.420 But it's not just
00:08:55.260 Iran.
00:08:56.200 China is also
00:08:56.980 preparing to send
00:08:57.820 military equipment
00:08:58.600 to Venezuela,
00:08:59.720 meaning the U.S.
00:09:00.600 could be facing
00:09:01.160 a serious fight
00:09:02.040 if tensions escalate.
00:09:03.100 Just a week ago,
00:09:04.960 Venezuelan President
00:09:05.900 Nicolás Maduro
00:09:06.980 sent a letter
00:09:07.960 directly to China.
00:09:09.540 Ironically,
00:09:10.240 that letter
00:09:10.600 was intercepted
00:09:11.340 by the U.S.,
00:09:12.320 revealing what was inside.
00:09:13.900 In the message,
00:09:14.740 Venezuela asked
00:09:15.520 for expanded
00:09:16.160 military cooperation
00:09:17.200 between Venezuela
00:09:18.040 and China.
00:09:19.260 Russia has already 0.94
00:09:20.120 supplied Venezuela
00:09:21.000 with air defense systems,
00:09:22.700 missiles,
00:09:23.220 and other weapons.
00:09:24.380 It's very likely
00:09:25.120 that Russia's allies,
00:09:26.400 China and Iran 0.78
00:09:27.180 will also continue
00:09:28.420 sending military support
00:09:29.500 to Venezuela.
00:09:30.680 Whether this situation
00:09:31.740 becomes a serious
00:09:32.720 challenge for the
00:09:33.440 United States
00:09:34.120 or just another
00:09:35.140 manageable conflict
00:09:36.140 remains to be seen.
00:09:37.640 Follow for the
00:09:38.220 latest updates.
00:09:39.520 Okay, so how does
00:09:41.120 that make you feel
00:09:41.700 when you see that?
00:09:42.720 What does that
00:09:43.520 make you think about?
00:09:44.220 It means you've got
00:09:44.840 to be pretty
00:09:45.520 freaking careful 0.78
00:09:46.520 about toppling Maduro
00:09:48.060 because there's
00:09:49.000 some very powerful
00:09:49.980 people that are
00:09:50.760 interested in him.
00:09:52.220 And this is the thing
00:09:53.000 I've been worried about.
00:09:53.900 The Iranian drones here, 1.00
00:09:55.760 I understand what
00:09:56.540 they're doing.
00:09:57.360 They're protecting
00:09:58.200 an OPEC brother.
00:09:59.840 That's the way
00:10:00.260 they see it.
00:10:00.700 They see it as
00:10:01.220 an OPEC brother.
00:10:02.260 Not a brother
00:10:03.720 in Muslim faith.
00:10:06.020 But they do see it
00:10:07.020 as their side
00:10:08.960 of the balance sheet
00:10:10.020 economic ally.
00:10:11.620 And that's not
00:10:12.660 a surprise.
00:10:13.420 And China also
00:10:14.400 has been helping
00:10:16.320 Venezuela with 0.89
00:10:17.140 satellites for a long
00:10:18.000 time.
00:10:18.840 So China's got 0.94
00:10:19.580 the satellites up
00:10:20.340 there to help you
00:10:21.060 sense if people
00:10:22.300 are coming to attack
00:10:23.060 you.
00:10:23.540 And they're getting
00:10:24.000 drones from this.
00:10:25.340 And so what we
00:10:26.740 have to do
00:10:27.120 behind the curtain
00:10:27.800 is saying,
00:10:28.200 listen, listen, 1.00
00:10:30.440 this guy is a nutcase. 0.99
00:10:32.100 He's destabilizing 1.00
00:10:33.160 our region.
00:10:33.860 It's on our front
00:10:34.540 door.
00:10:35.520 Don't screw 0.98
00:10:36.500 with me while I 0.96
00:10:37.660 take care of this.
00:10:38.340 That's got to be
00:10:38.760 the Trump message
00:10:39.780 to China and Iran.
00:10:41.940 I don't know what
00:10:42.360 Russia's involvement
00:10:43.420 is, OPEC,
00:10:44.200 but in February
00:10:44.760 2025,
00:10:46.260 Venezuela exports
00:10:47.060 of crude and fuel
00:10:47.880 averaged 934,000
00:10:50.480 barrels per day.
00:10:52.640 503,000
00:10:53.680 went to China.
00:10:54.280 So over 50%
00:10:57.320 of the oil export,
00:10:58.300 what was the date?
00:10:59.240 February 2025.
00:11:01.280 Okay, so earlier
00:11:01.960 this year in first
00:11:02.840 quarter,
00:11:03.520 they're sending more
00:11:04.460 than half of the oil
00:11:05.380 to China that does
00:11:07.280 not have oil.
00:11:08.060 I couldn't find
00:11:09.000 anything why Russia
00:11:10.020 would be sending
00:11:10.720 air defense because
00:11:11.940 they're not really
00:11:12.380 doing the oil
00:11:12.840 situation with them,
00:11:13.960 but obviously China,
00:11:15.480 I mean, Russia's 0.99
00:11:15.920 involved as well.
00:11:16.600 I don't know about
00:11:17.100 you guys,
00:11:17.580 the last country I'm
00:11:18.760 worried about at this
00:11:19.300 point is Iran.
00:11:21.060 They've had their
00:11:21.840 chance to quote
00:11:23.120 unquote be the big
00:11:24.060 dog.
00:11:24.760 They've lost
00:11:25.440 everything,
00:11:26.280 all their proxies,
00:11:27.580 all their clout,
00:11:28.680 all their air
00:11:29.520 capabilities,
00:11:30.320 nothing.
00:11:31.060 And while their
00:11:31.460 people in Iran
00:11:32.460 are basically
00:11:33.260 struggling for
00:11:34.640 survival,
00:11:35.020 you're telling me
00:11:35.460 I'm worried about
00:11:36.160 what they're going
00:11:36.660 to do in a proxy
00:11:38.100 war with Venezuela?
00:11:39.100 Not even worried
00:11:39.640 a little bit.
00:11:40.420 Trump is utilizing
00:11:42.320 the Monroe Doctrine,
00:11:44.100 which is essentially
00:11:44.860 like stay the hell 0.92
00:11:45.540 out of the Western
00:11:46.040 hemisphere.
00:11:46.900 For China or Russia 0.86
00:11:48.600 or Iran specifically
00:11:50.100 to think that they're
00:11:51.420 going to be the,
00:11:53.420 have an agenda to
00:11:54.640 topple anything that
00:11:55.440 is going on in the
00:11:56.020 American hegemony to
00:11:57.700 me is fruitless and
00:12:00.240 will not,
00:12:00.840 another thing is,
00:12:02.700 do you remember when
00:12:03.240 they said that about
00:12:03.880 Syria? 0.58
00:12:04.900 Oh, Syria's going to 1.00
00:12:05.660 fall.
00:12:05.960 Now they have this new,
00:12:06.700 you know,
00:12:07.520 terrorist dressed up in a
00:12:08.700 suit. 0.65
00:12:09.500 We, you know,
00:12:10.120 what's going to happen
00:12:10.960 there?
00:12:11.460 Who's going to come to
00:12:12.320 the defense?
00:12:12.820 Russia did not come to 0.99
00:12:13.620 the defense.
00:12:14.060 That was their biggest
00:12:14.680 advocate.
00:12:16.940 Iran did not help them 1.00
00:12:18.060 because they're dealing
00:12:18.820 with their own issues.
00:12:20.080 Some of the reason that
00:12:20.820 we're still involved in
00:12:21.540 Ukraine is because if we 1.00
00:12:23.220 keep Russia preoccupied, 0.96
00:12:24.760 they can't fund certain
00:12:26.620 things.
00:12:27.500 Russia, China, Iran,
00:12:29.780 you notice this sort of
00:12:31.300 three card Monty that
00:12:32.460 they keep doing.
00:12:33.240 We're spending their 0.99
00:12:34.280 money.
00:12:34.780 They're spending their
00:12:35.760 assets.
00:12:36.420 They're spending their
00:12:37.320 resources to basically
00:12:38.880 stay afloat.
00:12:39.660 I'm not worried about
00:12:40.240 them taking down the
00:12:40.920 United States.
00:12:41.640 What I think the
00:12:42.360 American people are
00:12:43.100 worried about, nobody,
00:12:44.840 and I mean nobody, is
00:12:46.140 in favor of troops on
00:12:47.900 the ground in
00:12:48.940 Venezuela.
00:12:49.600 We weren't a fan of it
00:12:50.580 in Iran.
00:12:51.060 We weren't a fan of it
00:12:51.700 in Israel and Gaza.
00:12:52.860 Certainly not a fan of
00:12:53.700 it in our own
00:12:54.080 hemisphere.
00:12:54.880 At the same time,
00:12:55.560 this guy Maduro guy's
00:12:56.320 got to go, and I think
00:12:57.580 his time is up.
00:12:58.180 It's just a matter of
00:12:58.740 time.
00:12:59.060 I think we're going to
00:12:59.640 get it done, and
00:13:00.400 Rubio's going to take
00:13:01.140 the W. 0.68
00:13:02.240 Good for him.
00:13:02.720 And nobody knows more
00:13:03.700 about what's going on in
00:13:04.340 Latin America, Cuba,
00:13:05.980 Venezuela, than Rubio.
00:13:07.500 Do you have a lot of
00:13:07.900 risk?
00:13:08.280 Sure.
00:13:10.260 Yeah, I do think it's
00:13:11.620 going to be messy, but I
00:13:12.580 think it's going to
00:13:12.980 happen fairly quickly as
00:13:14.980 well.
00:13:15.260 I'd like to make an
00:13:16.000 announcement.
00:13:16.500 Folks, we're doing
00:13:17.660 something crazy, and let
00:13:18.820 me tell you what this
00:13:19.360 crazy thing is.
00:13:20.120 You know what this is?
00:13:21.280 This is what you call a
00:13:22.160 mystery box, okay?
00:13:24.080 200 of you are going to
00:13:25.220 get this mystery box, and
00:13:26.620 I'm going to tell you
00:13:27.240 who this mystery box is
00:13:28.180 going to go to, what
00:13:29.340 items in it that are
00:13:30.960 very, very unique.
00:13:33.020 If you're watching this
00:13:34.800 right now, and you want
00:13:35.840 to have a Merry
00:13:37.200 Christmas and get some
00:13:38.280 people some special
00:13:39.080 gifts, and have the

00:13:44.780 podcast, sit here with
00:13:46.800 us, do a prep, and all
00:13:48.300 the other crazy stuff.
00:13:49.820 Rob, just play this
00:13:50.600 clip, Rob.
00:13:51.100 I'm getting ahead of
00:13:51.900 myself.
00:13:52.280 Go ahead, Rob.
00:13:52.780 Watch this clip, folks.
00:13:53.700 The greatest Black
00:13:55.640 Friday initiative ever.
00:13:57.840 This right here is a
00:13:59.080 mystery box.
00:13:59.700 It's a mystery, but
00:14:00.680 there's something very
00:14:01.280 special inside of it.
00:14:02.380 So how do you get the
00:14:03.120 mystery box?
00:14:03.680 The first 200 people
00:14:05.920 that place a $500 order
00:14:08.860 on vtmerch.com.
00:14:10.940 The first 200 get this
00:14:12.100 box.
00:14:12.560 10 of them have
00:14:13.580 something very special
00:14:14.460 in them.
00:14:14.860 But when you open it up
00:14:15.920 and you see this, 10 of
00:14:18.440 them are going to be
00:14:18.980 golden tickets.
00:14:19.680 You're going to take
00:14:20.140 your quarter, and you're
00:14:21.200 going to scratch this
00:14:21.840 thing off.
00:14:22.780 10 of you are going to
00:14:23.440 get different prices.
00:14:24.220 Let me tell you what
00:14:24.720 it's going to be.
00:14:25.860 One of them is going to
00:14:26.820 be $5,000 gift card to
00:14:29.440 the VT merch.
00:14:30.100 Come buy whatever you
00:14:30.760 want to buy.
00:14:31.200 The shoes, the jackets,
00:14:32.240 whatever you want to
00:14:32.700 buy.
00:14:33.100 The other one is five
00:14:34.020 platinum tickets to the
00:14:35.120 vault 2026.
00:14:36.200 That's right.
00:14:36.660 Another one is the 20
00:14:38.500 carat hat that we did.
00:14:39.880 That's number one out of
00:14:40.880 15.
