Transcript

00:00:00.000 Venezuela. Venezuela, okay?
00:00:02.340 Vámonos.
00:00:02.840 U.S. certainly looking at striking Venezuela territory after blowing up drug boats,
00:00:08.940 which, Rob, I think you have the clip here.
00:00:11.540 And that's a New York Post story.
00:00:13.200 Is this the president?
00:00:14.600 Beautiful tie. Go ahead, Rob.
00:00:16.520 What's the next step in this war on cartels?
00:00:18.960 And are you considering options, are you considering strikes on land?
00:00:22.520 Well, I don't want to tell you exactly, but we are certainly looking at land now
00:00:25.740 because we've got the sea very well under control.
00:00:27.960 Uh, we've had a couple of days where there isn't a boat to be found.
00:00:32.720 And that, I view that as a good thing, not a bad thing.
00:00:35.120 But we had tremendous amounts coming in by boats, by very expensive boats.
00:00:38.760 You know, they have a lot of money.
00:00:40.120 Very fast, very expensive boats that were pretty big.
00:00:43.960 And the way you look at it is every boat that we knock out, we save 25,000 American lives.
00:00:50.000 So every time you see a boat and you feel badly, you say, wow, that's rough.
00:00:54.220 It is rough.
00:00:55.000 But if you lose three people and save 25,000 people, these are people that are killing our population.
00:01:01.880 Okay, so that's, do you have the explosion of the boat, Rob?
00:01:06.120 I do.
00:01:06.640 So if you want to play that, it looks like a video game, but it's not.
00:01:10.800 This boat is, watch this, folks.
00:01:14.160 It looks just like a video game.
00:01:15.400 Watch this.
00:01:15.840 I'll be the voices of the guys in the boat.
00:01:17.120 They were about to deliver some supplies to people.
00:01:30.600 Yeah, how much?
00:01:31.580 Tony Montana.
00:01:32.400 25,000.
00:01:33.300 Like, how many?
00:01:33.740 Okay.
00:01:34.180 So that's that, right?
00:01:35.880 Okay.
00:01:36.140 Now, while that's happening, America's nuclear bombers spotted on mission over Venezuela as conflict escalated.
00:01:44.780 Oh, my God.
00:01:45.760 Okay?
00:01:46.200 Again, folks, nuclear bombers.
00:01:49.560 Watch this.
00:01:54.580 And I have them taking off as well.
00:02:01.100 Here they are leaving the United States before they went to Venezuela.
00:02:04.460 Look at this.
00:02:10.220 Look at that.
00:02:13.140 Look at the size of that thing.
00:02:14.920 So, a trio of U.S. 52 bombers, okay?
00:02:22.820 Stratofortress bombers was spotted flying near Venezuela's airspace.
00:02:27.720 And what some analysts are calling a bold display of military power,
00:02:31.480 flight tracking data shows all three bombers departed from Louisiana Barksdale Air Force Base
00:02:38.620 starting at 2.50 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
00:02:41.760 They flew through the Gulf of America, passing between Mexico and Cuba,
00:02:48.140 before approaching Venezuela and circling over the Caribbean Sea.
00:02:52.980 The mysterious missions come as President Trump is ramping up intense pressure on Venezuelan dictatorship.
00:02:59.220 The effort includes a $50 million bounty on Maduro.
00:03:01.900 We already know that.
00:03:03.360 And then while they're doing this, the U.S. strikes another vessel of Venezuela, killing six.
00:03:07.980 And then on top of that, Trump confers CIA authorization in Venezuela after U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats.
00:03:18.960 Tom, your thoughts on this.
00:03:20.240 Well, first of all, you have all these people saying,
00:03:23.780 oh, my gosh, those boats are international waters.
00:03:25.980 There's some international law.
00:03:27.280 There's due process.
00:03:28.200 You can't be doing this.
00:03:29.300 And, you know, these drug boats disappear.
00:03:32.260 And then Trump does some math for him and explains it.
00:03:35.140 Here's what's happening.
00:03:36.860 So there, he's like, okay, well, where do those boats come from?
00:03:42.000 Ports.
00:03:42.900 And what's at the ports?
00:03:44.300 Docks.
00:03:45.080 Really?
00:03:45.520 Where are the ports and docks?
00:03:47.060 They're right here by the dirt.
00:03:48.940 What's that dirt?
00:03:50.140 Venezuela's coast.
00:03:51.380 Which way do you want it?
00:03:52.880 Right?
00:03:53.200 He's saying, I'm going to go get these drug lords.
00:03:55.480 Which way do you want it?
00:03:56.480 Do you want this boat loaded with stuff, just sink to the bottom of the, you know,
00:04:00.860 Caribbean and give a bunch of, you know, whale sharks a buzz for an afternoon?
00:04:07.300 Do you want that?
00:04:08.360 Or do you want him to come all the way over this way?
00:04:11.200 And that's what's going on.
00:04:12.560 The other thing that's going on is this is a multi-point trolling.
00:04:18.320 He's blowing up the boats.
00:04:20.020 The planes flew over and there's nothing they can do about it.
00:04:23.160 And he's saying, well, you know, the drug boats, you know, we may have to go on land.
00:04:27.820 You know, there's docks and ports there.
00:04:29.960 Maybe blow those up.
00:04:31.560 He's basically lining it up and putting such a pinch on them.
00:04:37.400 And then the creme de la creme, the cherry on the sundae.
00:04:43.320 Well, we also got the CIA, which basically tells people that there's American spies and bad little groups that are actually probably inside Venezuela with their own rebel groups pointing them at Maduro.
00:04:55.320 So now they're like, OK, they're blowing up the boats.
00:04:58.240 They're coming for the docks.
00:04:59.260 It could be coming on shore.
00:05:00.340 They're flying overhead.
00:05:01.460 And CIA guys are helping our rebels get ready to come after our president.
00:05:05.740 This is just he's trolling and he's slowly squeezing.
00:05:09.960 And at the end of the day, Maduro is going to be done, whether there's an election and he steps aside or he goes to exile or he has a sudden case of lead poisoning, as they say in the mob.
00:05:23.560 Um, that's what's going to happen.
00:05:25.940 And I think Trump is doing a masterful job, multi-level trolling and multi-level acting.
00:05:33.560 How long did the war on drugs ever stop?
00:05:35.640 Who started that?
00:05:36.240 Which president?
00:05:36.860 Reagan.
00:05:37.740 Actually, drugs won that war.
00:05:38.960 Tom, well, guess what?
00:05:40.020 The war has not stopped.
00:05:41.260 And this actually makes me I'm so freaking happy being someone that lost multiple friends because of fentanyl at a party.
00:05:47.520 Yeah, they shouldn't have been doing any drugs, but they did one little bit of drug and they all freaking died.
00:05:51.800 And this is how you stop it.
00:05:52.820 People go after dealers.
00:05:54.000 God bless you, Rob.
00:05:54.600 And all that type of stuff.
00:05:55.980 This is bringing it.
00:05:56.700 And guess what?
00:05:57.280 If you're following the news from Venezuela or any of these countries, you're seeing what's happening to your boys on the boats.
00:06:03.860 Stop coming here.
00:06:05.160 Okay?
00:06:05.740 Because if it's one American that's going to be saved, he put $25,000 as a number.
00:06:09.900 We lose more Americans.
00:06:11.100 We're losing.
00:06:12.080 How many do we lose a year, Rob?
00:06:13.440 Was it like 80,000 Americans dying from drugs?
00:06:16.600 This is how we – if three of them have to die for 25,000 of us Americans to survive, I'm all for it.
00:06:23.080 Sign me up.
00:06:23.680 Adam.
00:06:23.900 Well, this is the culmination of over 25 years of accepting communism and socialism in the Western Hemisphere in Venezuela.
00:06:33.000 Like, how did we get to this point?
00:06:34.280 So how did Maduro become this guy with this $50 million bounty on his head?
00:06:38.060 And it's because in 1999, I believe, the Venezuelans – and I love the Venezuelan people, especially here in Miami – elected a guy named Chavez, right?
00:06:48.680 And Chavez came in, and I think he was elected not once, not twice, I think three times.
00:06:53.160 And then Maduro was his predecessor or successor.
00:06:56.180 And now Venezuela, which I believe was one of the richest countries in the Western Hemisphere, not named the United States or Canada, is now a communist despot that's basically backed up by Russia and China.
00:07:10.440 So we've seen what socialism and communism has done to Venezuela.
00:07:14.000 Second point, what Trump is basically trying to do is he's sort of implementing the old Monroe Doctrine, I think, in the 1820s when President Monroe said,
00:07:21.740 listen, stay out of the Western Hemisphere.
00:07:24.100 We'll stay out of Europe at that time.
00:07:25.540 Now it's basically a message to China and Russia, stay out of our hemisphere.
00:07:30.580 So we see what's going on with Venezuela.
00:07:32.540 We obviously know what happened in Cuba.
00:07:34.200 We're seeing what's going on with your favorite thing to talk about, PBD, which is the Panama Canal with China.
00:07:39.600 And we're saying, listen, we're not going to play this game.
00:07:41.320 Stay out of our lane.
00:07:43.560 And they're implementing economic sanctions on Venezuela.
00:07:45.960 Obviously, they're doing military pressure, blowing up boats.
00:07:48.700 They put a $50 million bounty on his head.
00:07:50.460 And the last piece of the puzzle is Venezuela had the Nobel Peace Prize, the winner.
00:07:56.340 What was her name?
00:07:56.980 Maria Machado.
00:07:58.100 Yeah.
00:07:58.680 So she and who'd she give it to?
00:08:01.700 To Trump.
00:08:02.860 Trump's the leader.
00:08:03.660 Trump's the big winner here.
00:08:05.180 And we're going to see how Maduro can stand against Trump.
00:08:08.080 Maduro's days are numbered.
00:08:09.100 I believe so.
00:08:09.600 Maduro, right now, they're playing Juarez-Waldo with the greatest player of Juarez-Waldo ever, who knows where everybody's at.
00:08:16.880 And that's Trump.
00:08:17.880 They know where he's at right now.
00:08:19.200 If they want to do something to him, they can do it to him tomorrow.
00:08:21.880 But I don't know why he is slow playing this.
00:08:24.140 Maybe they want him to come out.
00:08:25.320 Maybe they want to get him alive.
00:08:26.400 Maybe they want him to resist.
00:08:27.540 Maybe they want him to, what do you call it, to just surrender and come out.
00:08:31.820 But we'll see.
00:08:33.060 They know what their next 15 moves are.
00:08:35.760 I trust they've already processed exactly what their next moves are going to be.
00:08:40.060 It's Steely Dan all over again.
00:08:41.580 Got a case of dynamite.
00:08:43.200 I could hang out here all night.
00:08:46.180 Tom, you okay?
00:08:46.840 Tom.
00:08:47.180 No, it's Steely Dan talking about it.
00:08:48.860 Tom, you busted out.
00:08:50.100 I didn't want to do this today.
00:08:51.160 You busted out a Crosby, Stills, and Nash reference.
00:08:53.320 And that was a little bit disturbing.
00:08:54.580 And a Steely Dan.
00:08:56.280 Let's bring this up to today.
00:08:57.660 No, it's okay.
00:08:58.180 It's just like for a second it was disturbing.
00:09:00.540 So let's go through.
00:09:01.780 The singing modern artists.
00:09:02.840 I apologize for the singing.
00:09:03.780 This is the only thing I wear every single flippant day.
00:09:08.520 My back feels better.
00:09:10.540 I'm comfortable.
00:09:11.440 My knees feel better.
00:09:12.440 The Super Hoka trained, authentic leather, made in Tuscany, Italy.
00:09:16.900 Same exact factories that you were there.
00:09:19.940 We were seeing the Gucci, the Louis shoes being made.
00:09:22.180 Absolutely incredible.
00:09:23.580 The level of comfort that it has.
00:09:26.000 But I got an update for you with sizes.
00:09:28.200 I got an update for you.
00:09:29.140 The following sizes on black and brown are officially gone.
00:09:34.700 So, brown, size 8, 10 1⁄2, 11 1⁄2, 12, and 13 sold out.
00:09:38.860 Jeez.
00:09:39.480 Black, 8, 10 1⁄2, 11 1⁄2, 12, and 13 sold out.
00:09:42.500 Navy blue, 8, and 13 sold out.
00:09:45.040 Everything you do on those sizes will be pre-ordered.
00:09:47.280 Do so because we have a long list of pre-orders for second week of December.
00:09:51.000 And then the whites are going to be bonkers when they come out.
00:09:54.800 But they only come out second week of December.
00:09:56.980 For everybody else, Rob, who hasn't yet ordered the shoes, okay?
00:10:00.600 Who hasn't yet ordered the shoes.
00:10:02.140 Rob, can you please show the video, the commercial that we have?
00:10:06.660 Is this a commercial?
00:10:07.600 Is this a...
00:10:07.900 Okay, go ahead and play this clip.
00:10:08.980 Go for it, folk.
00:10:09.980 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury,
00:10:15.360 we had the choice to make it fast.
00:10:17.520 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:10:19.080 We chose neither.
00:10:21.320 Instead, we chose Toscanero.
00:10:23.640 We chose true Italian craftsmanship, each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:10:29.060 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail,
00:10:32.980 and we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:10:36.480 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:10:40.180 Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.
00:10:44.440 Rather, intentional, luxurious, timeless.
00:10:49.080 There you go.
00:10:52.860 I'm in love, man.
00:10:53.680 I am so in love with this.
00:10:54.840 When a product goes perfect, it goes perfect.
00:10:58.400 Rob, can you go please to vtmerch.com?
00:11:00.700 Okay, go to the bottom.
00:11:02.220 So here's the thing that you got to keep in mind.
00:11:03.820 Folks, I keep reiterating this because we've been working on this for two years.
00:11:08.720 This is what makes it unique.
00:11:09.900 Takes you seconds to put these FLBs on, okay?
00:11:13.360 Laceless.
00:11:14.300 The first of its kind to have the super critical foam tech in it.
00:11:18.180 When you wear it, you will feel it immediately.
00:11:20.700 Anybody and everybody that I see who's worn this, the first thing they say is,
00:11:24.160 I cannot believe how comfortable this is.
00:11:27.160 Go read the reviews.
00:11:28.400 Go read the reviews of people that have bought these shoes.
00:11:30.720 So now, if you buy the same thing with Berluti that matches to it, 1840, Fergamo 895, Zenny 1190, Gucci 950,
00:11:37.560 but they're not laceless.
00:11:39.100 A couple of these are.
00:11:40.580 The craftsmanship, us and Berluti, we're in the five different factories in Tuscan, Italy,
00:11:45.180 and the FLB are the only ones, and I mean the only ones, that have the super critical foam in it.
00:11:50.200 If you haven't placed the order yet, go to vtmerch.com, place the order.
00:11:53.600 And if you want to get a surprise Christmas gift for your husband,
00:11:57.080 the white ones are not going to stay on the shelves for too long.
00:12:00.380 Pre-order the white ones.
00:12:01.660 They look absolutely ridiculous.
