Valuetainment - “Lights Out in Caracas” - Maduro CAPTURED As Trump SHOCKS Venezuela In EXPLOSIVE Night Raid

00:00:00.000 General Dan Cain describes timeline of Maduro's capture.

00:00:04.220 Rob, if you have that clip, let's start off with the capture and how it was done of Maduro.

00:00:10.700 Go for it, Rob.

00:00:11.840 At 10.46 p.m. Eastern Time last night, the President ordered the United States military to move forward with this mission.

00:00:20.480 He said to us, and we appreciated it, Mr. President, good luck and Godspeed.

00:00:25.240 And those words were transmitted to the entire Joint Force.

00:00:28.180 Over the course of the night, aircraft began launching from 20 different bases on land and sea across the Western Hemisphere.

00:00:37.320 In total, more than 150 aircraft, bombers, fighters, intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance, rotary wing were in the air last night.

00:00:46.800 Thousands and thousands of hours of experience were airborne.

00:00:51.440 Our youngest crew member was 20, and our oldest crew member was 49.

00:00:55.900 Wow.

00:00:56.220 And there's simply no match for American military might.

00:01:00.180 As the night began, the helicopters took off with the extraction force, which included law enforcement officers,

00:01:06.060 and began their flight into Venezuela at 100 feet above the water.

00:01:10.560 As they approached Venezuelan shores, the United States began layering different effects provided by Spacecom,

00:01:17.640 Cybercom, and other members of the interagency to create a pathway.

00:01:21.500 Overhead, those forces were protected by aircraft from the United States Marines, the United States Navy, the United States Air Force, and the Air National Guard.

00:01:33.580 The force included F-22s, F-18s, F-18s, E-18s, E-2s, B-1 bombers, and other support aircraft, as well as numerous remotely piloted drones.

00:01:46.860 As the force began to approach Caracas, the joint air component began dismantling and disabling the air defense systems in Venezuela,

00:01:58.060 employing weapons to ensure the safe passage of the helicopters into the target area.

00:02:03.980 The goal of our air component is, was, and always will be to protect the helicopters and the ground force and get them to the target.

00:02:15.440 In other words, guys, over 150 aircrafts, bombers, fighters, reconnaissance, launched precision strikes on Venezuelan air defenses, military sites, to throw them off, by the way.

00:02:27.100 And then 201 helicopters, the Delta Force, reached Maduro's fortified compound, forced face fire.

00:02:34.020 One helicopter hit, but flyable, responded with overwhelming forces.

00:02:38.780 Maduro and wife, Celia Flores, seized Maduro reportedly, tried fleeing to a safe room, but failed, no U.S. fatalities, minor injuries reported, extraction completed, 4.20 local time.

00:02:52.300 Maduro couple flown out abroad, helicoptered to USS Iojima, then to New York for charges, narco-terrorism.

00:03:01.520 And by the way, if you can show the picture of him getting what he looked like with the, he, his eyes, they had to shut his eyes so he couldn't see where he was going.

00:03:10.200 Look at that right there.

00:03:10.620 That's what he looked like.

00:03:12.020 Drinking water, having his, you know, workout suit, middle, can you imagine middle of the night?

00:03:16.860 And by the way, there's a bunch of different reports.

00:03:19.260 Again, shout out majorly to Delta Force.

00:03:22.820 When you see the amazing work they do and how low-key it was, going in, in, backdoor.

00:03:28.880 By the way, do you know they've been working on this project since August?

00:03:32.200 They've been working on this since August.

00:03:33.860 Rehearsing everything, right?

00:03:35.000 Since August, they've been gathering intel to know exactly how to do this, and it was officially done.

00:03:40.140 Tom, I'll come to you first.

00:03:41.280 What was your reaction when you saw this?

00:03:42.780 The markets reacted in a very different way.

00:03:45.180 Some people are saying, I cannot believe you're doing this to Venezuela.

00:03:47.800 We are being involved.

00:03:48.940 We shouldn't be doing this.

00:03:50.400 You know, Rachel Maddow, you know, what are we doing?

00:03:53.540 Why are we not running? 0.99

00:03:54.480 And Trump himself, by the way, if you got the clip of Trump, is this the one where he says, come for me, you coward? 0.98

00:03:59.340 Rob, is this the one? 0.98

00:04:00.200 Go ahead and play this clip.

00:04:01.240 So he's instigating here.

00:04:02.240 This is my favorite.

00:04:02.840 Go ahead, Rob.

00:04:03.360 I just got three things to say.

00:04:13.180 God bless our troops.

00:04:15.400 God bless America.

00:04:17.320 And gentlemen, start your action.

00:04:22.720 Don't you just love it?

00:04:24.420 Don't you just love it?

00:04:26.120 Don't you just love it?

00:04:27.360 If we're going to be honest, if we're going to be honest, Tom, I'm going to give it to you.

00:04:31.400 He requested the president to come get him.

00:04:34.700 If he didn't do it, the left would complain at him.

00:04:37.580 They'd be like, well, how dare you ignore a minority? 0.98

00:04:40.560 You asked for it.

00:04:41.860 Come get it.

00:04:42.520 You got it.

00:04:43.540 Period.

00:04:44.100 Tom, go for it.

00:04:44.800 The first thing that you know me, I break down everybody's words very, very carefully.

00:04:49.040 And so I was listening to the general there and he said, we began layering in effects and

00:04:53.360 we began disabling and dismantling the aircraft systems.

00:04:58.760 Supposedly, Venezuela, and I dove into this a little bit, but supposedly Venezuela has the

00:05:04.540 China anti-stealth technology.

00:05:07.300 Well, apparently it didn't work.

00:05:09.020 Apparently it didn't work.

00:05:10.240 The layering effects they're talking about were electronic countermeasures and potentially

00:05:15.220 cyber to create, as they said, the corridor for rotary wing.

00:05:19.200 When you hear them say rotary wing, that's helicopters.

00:05:21.700 And then disabling is cyber or other electronic means.

00:05:26.500 Dismantling is, you know, noise, where you saw the bombs and everything that were hitting

00:05:32.320 any aircraft targets and hitting also their radar installations.

00:05:37.080 And so this was, the layered effects was just tremendous.

00:05:41.100 The more I read about this and the more you sat back is that the mainstream media has got

00:05:47.240 a defense analyst out there.

00:05:48.680 I know CNBC has one, but they didn't talk about it.

00:05:51.480 I am reading secondary tertiary sources like Jane's on Armament and everything to say just

00:05:58.380 how amazing it was to go in there, shut everything down.

00:06:02.260 They call it closing their eyes.

00:06:03.840 They say, okay, close your eyes.

00:06:05.600 And that's radar and everything.

00:06:06.620 So that was number one that kind of was very inspiring to me, the way Delta Force did it

00:06:11.100 so well.

00:06:11.760 And the technology that was underneath there that creates this overwhelming multi-layer effect

00:06:17.500 where we basically go in and out.

00:06:20.280 And what was really good that was preserved was the people that Maduro doesn't care about,

00:06:25.720 his own citizens.

00:06:26.720 His own citizens could have been in the middle of a firefight, could have been secondary casualties,

00:06:32.300 but they weren't.

00:06:33.520 They got in, they got their target, got out.

00:06:36.040 The other thing I found very interesting as I went to the political side is it was not lost

00:06:41.160 on me that the rest of the world is upset because they lost a Marxist country and they lost

00:06:46.300 a Marxist leader.

00:06:47.800 That's on the side of the globalists that want the socialist Marxists.

00:06:51.780 They lost one of their guys.

00:06:53.500 And that's their funding.

00:06:55.800 There's a Chinese gentleman that's funding protesters in America.

00:07:00.020 Put Maduro back.

00:07:00.980 Put Maduro back.

00:07:01.800 They just took an L.

00:07:03.360 Marxism took an L.

00:07:04.580 They lost one of their guys.

00:07:06.120 Think of it as a monopoly board.

00:07:07.380 They just lost one of their key properties.

00:07:10.520 And there's a couple of clips.

00:07:11.780 Those are the two things that I was thinking about.

00:07:13.500 And so there's a couple of clips of people being asked who are there for protesting.

00:07:17.520 And I have no clue what to say.

00:07:18.800 But before we go there, Rob, let's go on the clips that you have for the president.

00:07:22.160 Let's start off with this one and we'll go to the other one, Rob.

00:07:24.300 And then Adam Vinny, I'll come to you guys.

00:07:25.460 Go for it.

00:07:26.920 Maduro in the dead of night.

00:07:28.880 It was dark.

00:07:31.080 The lights of Caracas were largely turned off due to a certain expertise that we have.

00:07:42.760 It was dark.

00:07:46.840 You just blame him.

00:07:47.820 By the way, go back.

00:07:49.580 Go back.

00:07:50.260 I cannot.

00:07:51.260 Listen, I have so much respect for people that can hold it together and not laugh.

00:07:57.060 It takes every single one of his abdominal muscles to not laugh right there.

00:08:02.440 Marco Rubio, look at his face.

00:08:04.320 Go back five seconds, Rob.

00:08:05.640 Go back.

00:08:06.000 We have these lights we can turn off.

00:08:07.920 Look at Rubio's face.

00:08:08.960 You know he's looking at friends and he's getting ready to crack up.

00:08:12.620 First play, Rob.

00:08:13.940 He looked at somebody that he wants to laugh.

00:08:16.980 He's holding it together.

00:08:18.640 Expertise that we have.

00:08:21.320 It was dark.

00:08:23.780 Okay.

00:08:24.180 So listen, we got to give props to Rubio.

00:08:26.720 You have to.

00:08:27.100 You have to give props.

00:08:27.960 Okay, so here's him on the phone.

00:08:29.140 Go ahead, Rob.

00:08:30.660 Incredible job.

00:08:31.520 These men and women that went out there last night, the courage they had, going into an

00:08:37.120 area where, you know, all the lights were turned off.

00:08:39.540 We turned off almost all of the lights in Caracas.

00:08:42.640 I mean, this thing was so organized.

00:08:45.520 And they go into a dark space with machine guns facing them all over the place.

00:08:50.820 And then you hear from a guy that I'd never even heard of him.

00:08:53.440 But you hear from some congressman saying, oh, this is so terrible.

00:08:57.140 We're saving lives.

00:08:58.540 And by the way, the boats, every boat, because that's sort of related to this, every boat

00:09:03.520 that we hit saves 25,000 lives.

00:09:06.900 I love it.

00:09:07.720 I love how it's being broken down into what they're talking about.

00:09:10.740 Every boat we hit saves 25,000 lives.

00:09:13.920 And by the way, here's some of the protesters.

00:09:16.760 Okay, so check this out.

00:09:17.920 Let's show some of the protesters on how they're reacting to this.

00:09:20.500 Go ahead, Rob.

00:09:20.980 I love this one.

00:09:21.580 Can I ask you what brings you out here today?

00:09:25.200 I'm organized with the Revolutionary Communists of America.

00:09:28.660 We're out here to say, hands off Venezuela.

00:09:31.460 And we unequivocally stand with the people of Venezuela against U.S. imperialist aggression.

00:09:36.440 What do you think about the people of Venezuela celebrating on the streets?

00:09:39.820 What?

00:09:40.360 What do you think about the people of Venezuela celebrating on the streets today?

00:09:43.380 I saw images of Venezuelans being bombed after the U.S. bombed Caracas, so I'm not sure what

00:09:50.460 you're talking about.

00:09:51.460 But yeah, I think you should definitely...

00:09:53.160 Can you show me the bombings that you're talking about?

00:09:55.220 I didn't see any.

00:09:55.940 I don't know.

00:09:56.140 I just saw it on Reddit.

00:09:57.060 It was on the front page of the thing.

00:09:58.220 Oh, Reddit.

00:09:58.660 Okay.

00:09:58.940 But what do you think about the people celebrating, the hundreds of thousands of people that are

00:10:02.500 in the streets celebrating?

00:10:03.220 I have yet to see it.

00:10:05.640 Can you show me that?

00:10:06.480 Yeah, yeah.

00:10:06.960 Sure.

00:10:07.680 U.S. imperialism.

00:10:08.800 People celebrating on the streets here.

00:10:10.900 What do you think about that?

00:10:15.080 I mean, at the end of the day, I stand with the people of Venezuela against U.S. imperialism.

00:10:21.080 The U.S. has no right to bomb the people of Venezuela.

00:10:23.820 The U.S. has no right to kidnap another...

00:10:25.960 Put to the other one, Rob.

00:10:27.040 If you get the other kid, there's another one that's very funny.

00:10:29.380 The other one I sent you as well on...

00:10:32.380 Not that one.

00:10:32.960 There's one...

00:10:33.620 That's the one right there.

00:10:34.440 Go ahead.

00:10:34.780 Watch this one.

00:10:36.960 What do you know about Nicolas Maduro?

00:10:40.960 I don't know much, bro. 1.00

00:10:42.380 I don't know, fool. 0.98

00:10:43.080 But I'm here with Central CSO, and we fight against all this with the Trump administration, 0.99

00:10:51.760 ICE, police brutality.

00:10:53.900 So we're just here in support of all that.

00:10:55.240 Just make a list.

00:10:55.820 What does Maduro have to do with all that? 0.99

00:10:58.960 I don't shit, bro. 0.99

00:11:00.240 You know? 1.00

00:11:00.780 I don't know.

00:11:01.280 Food the Dodgers.

00:11:01.980 I mean, it makes sense.

00:11:03.020 You know, Nicolas Maduro is responsible for almost 8 million people leaving Venezuela.

00:11:07.260 That's a dodge offense for you. 0.98

00:11:08.240 Like a quarter of their population over the last decade.

00:11:11.280 I mean, he's contributed a lot, right?

00:11:13.200 Yeah.

00:11:13.960 Take that hat.

00:11:15.020 Watch it.

00:11:15.280 But, you know, we're just here supporting.

00:11:18.940 You know what I mean?

00:11:19.800 Yeah.

00:11:20.260 Yeah.

00:11:20.760 Go Nicolas Maduro.

00:11:21.840 Can we do that?

00:11:22.360 Let's do it.

00:11:23.140 Go.

00:11:23.640 No?

00:11:24.060 Yeah.

00:11:24.480 He realized.

00:11:25.060 He realized by then.

00:11:26.020 What do you know about Nicolas Maduro?

00:11:26.840 Okay, Vinny, thoughts?

00:11:27.880 Well, last year we talked about signal versus noise, and I think the noise of the left is

00:11:34.000 falling on deaf ears.

00:11:35.420 Nobody cares.

00:11:36.560 You know what the signal is?

00:11:37.860 The people of Venezuela.

00:11:39.420 Okay?

00:11:39.640 I have yet to see one Venezuelan, Tommy. 0.99

00:11:43.020 One.

00:11:43.760 Be like, what are they doing?

00:11:45.180 It's all leftists, white liberal women, and people that are getting paid to do it. 1.00

00:11:50.220 And, by the way, this noise is paid for by the enemy.

00:11:53.720 Okay?

00:11:53.920 The hands-off Venezuela protest that was happening in New York supporting Maduro was organized

00:11:58.700 by the People's Forum.

00:12:00.560 That's an NGO that received over $20 million from a billionaire who lives in China, FYI,

00:12:07.180 with ties to the CCP.

00:12:08.640 The NGO's primary funding is from Neville Roy Singham.

00:12:12.740 Singham's residence is in Shanghai.

00:12:14.620 His business ties with the CCP.

00:12:16.060 He attends CCP-related events, and he funds media outlets echoing Chinese state narrative.

00:12:20.880 None of these people know what they're there for.

00:12:22.920 All their signs are bought and paid for.

00:12:24.680 It's the same as the No Kings. 0.77

00:12:25.880 It's the same as all that paid and inorganic protesting. 1.00

00:12:29.720 It's all horse crap. 0.98

00:12:31.000 And the most important, I think, is with everything that happened, China, we talked about this before, 0.98

00:12:36.280 was visiting, while this was happening, the day before, Maduro met with Xu Shinki, I can't

00:12:42.960 even say the name, representative of the Chinese government on Latin American affairs at the

00:12:47.480 Miraflores Palace, where he asked Trump to come get him.

00:12:51.000 Maduro said, I had a pleasant meeting with this guy, special envoy to President Xi Jinping.

00:12:55.740 We reaffirmed our commitment to strategic relationship that is progressing and strengthening

00:12:59.960 in various areas for building a multipolar world and development of peace.

00:13:04.620 Okay?

00:13:05.160 Let's not play games.

00:13:06.720 China is our biggest threat. 1.00

00:13:09.020 They're not an adversary.

00:13:10.060 They are our enemy.

00:13:11.240 Look what they did with COVID.

00:13:12.660 Zero accountability.

00:13:13.840 And they're laughing in our faces.

00:13:15.060 Okay?

00:13:15.440 We have to deal with them, Pat, I think, head on.

00:13:18.060 Okay?

00:13:18.380 If not, what's to stop them from doing another COVID or a cyber attack and all that stuff?

00:13:22.660 I think the drugs and all that stuff is a cherry on top.

00:13:27.000 But I think this strategic thing with Tom, China, Russia, it's such a great move that I think

00:13:33.520 that he did because now it's ours.

00:13:35.620 Okay?

00:13:35.900 And guess what?

00:13:36.760 Yes, we're going to get money from the oil.

00:13:38.420 Good.

00:13:38.740 They're going to make money as well.

00:13:40.440 But why is China and Russia over there?

00:13:43.960 Stay on your own side of the hemisphere. 0.85

00:13:45.580 We don't want you.

00:13:46.140 Adam, if you think about it, why are they here?

00:13:48.400 Why are they letting them get close?

00:13:50.260 This is a great move, I think, by President Trump.

00:13:52.160 And if I hear one more person go, we're going to war.

00:13:55.380 He did this.

00:13:56.220 This attack was in one hour.

00:13:58.620 That's an episode of Friends with commercials.

00:14:01.440 In, out.

00:14:03.060 I love it.

00:14:03.920 I absolutely love it.

00:14:05.340 Now, America is back.

00:14:06.420 We're back.

00:14:06.980 We're back.

00:14:07.860 Adam.

00:14:08.680 Well, F around and find out.

00:14:11.200 Shout out to the U.S. military.

00:14:12.660 Shout out to Delta Force.

00:14:14.220 Wow.

00:14:15.100 We are some gangsters out there.

00:14:16.960 So, I'm from Miami.

00:14:18.540 I have so many Venezuelan friends.

00:14:20.180 They're such amazing people.

00:14:21.360 So, the happiest people in the world today are Venezuelans.

00:14:26.000 Second to that are the Cubans who understand the struggle of Venezuelans.

00:14:30.180 The cheering going on in Miami, all over Miami, all weekend, was profound.

00:14:34.380 This is the biggest on-the-street protest parade excitement since 2021, when there was the Libertad Free Cuba movement.

00:14:42.760 2021, since then, the biggest parades since Fidel Castro died in 2016.

00:14:48.440 Because the people of Miami, who've had to flee socialism and flee communism, understand. 0.78

00:14:54.660 Juxtapose that with insane white liberals cheering for Maduro. 1.00

00:15:01.460 Imagine how far your headers have to be up your ass to be cheering against Donald Trump, against the Venezuelan people, cheering for Maduro. 1.00

00:15:11.000 These are the people that shout, no kings. 0.99

00:15:13.340 These are autocrats that have hijacked countries like Venezuela, like Cuba, like Iran, and the people of their country want freedom, libertad.

00:15:24.080 So, shout out to Trump, shout out to Pete Hegseth, shout out to Marco Rubio, and major respect to the Venezuelan people.

00:15:31.820 You know how bad it is when Anna Navarro, who hates Trump, I mean, there's certain people that you can tell that literally, that cannot stand a person.

00:15:41.680 She would be on that list.

00:15:43.540 But look what she had to do.

00:15:45.360 It was so tough for her to do it that even her dog in her background was upset, saying, please don't do it.

00:15:50.580 Okay, watch her here, giving praise to the president. 1.00

00:15:54.580 Go forward.

00:15:55.560 Today, for me, is a good day, because Maduro is out. 1.00

00:15:59.760 He is a son of a bitch. 1.00

00:16:01.000 I hope this sends a message to the other sons of bitches in the region. 1.00

00:16:05.940 You may disagree with the way Trump did it, but it's done. 1.00

00:16:11.560 You see, he said the dog was pissed.

00:16:12.800 It's going to end any other way, because once he started bombing boats, and we have, we've bombed boats, alleged drug boats, and killed over 115 people.

00:16:24.840 I think Trump thought getting rid of Maduro was going to be easy, and Maduro was going to scare easily.

00:16:30.420 He didn't.

00:16:31.420 It took him doing this.

00:16:34.500 So, yeah, he did it without congressional authorization.

00:16:37.420 This was an act of war.

00:16:38.580 All of these things, but it's now done.

00:16:41.040 I think it doesn't escalate from here, because the objective of this was to get Maduro out.

00:16:48.820 Anyway, while you're seeing that, I just wanted to show that.

00:16:51.560 But you know what's my favorite clip out of all of them?

00:16:54.100 What is it?

00:16:54.500 Can I tell you what's my favorite clip out of all of them?

00:16:57.200 Because you realize, the president said, they're running the show right now, through the vice president that became the president, who was acting all tough on TV.

00:17:05.880 But behind closed doors, she's following order, and Trump said, I think she is.

00:17:09.940 I've been getting a lot of my necks about people talking about what they want to do with their culture in 2026, going into 2026.

00:17:17.900 And for us, it's very clear.

00:17:20.580 If you want to find out how specific our culture is at Valuetainment, we went from having nine employees just a couple years ago, to now having nearly 160, 170 employees, full-time employees here on our campus here.

00:17:32.260 Our culture deck is public, available.

00:17:34.240 You can go purchase it to read through.

00:17:35.700 It tells you exactly how we do everything, how we do our calibration, what we stand for, what we do, what it takes to get promoted here.

00:17:42.800 If you've never had one of these, you can go pick one of these up.

00:17:46.220 Last time we did this, it sold out literally in minutes when it was gone.

00:17:50.060 It's $19.99.

00:17:50.960 Go get it.

00:17:51.480 Read it for yourself.

00:17:52.820 We even went to a company the other day in Arkansas.

00:17:54.880 We were looking at them.

00:17:55.680 Their entire coat of honor was pretty much every single thing that we said except for one of them, and they had it in their front lobby.

00:18:02.000 You can obviously go out there and change it up and do it for whatever you want to do with your company, but this could be a way for you to get some ideas for your business going into 2026.

00:18:10.760 So go to vtmerch.com, Rob.

00:18:12.860 But we can put the link below as well for people to order.
