Valuetainment - ＂Rubio Looks Presidential＂ - Marco Rubio's POWERFUL Message On What Makes America Great

00:00:00.000 Marco Rubio, this guy's just a stud, man.

00:00:02.860 And, you know, he gets a lot of – people are like, well, you know,

00:00:05.900 because there's two camps right now.

00:00:07.220 You've got the JD camp and you've got the Rubio camp.

00:00:09.820 And the JD camp cannot stand Rubio.

00:00:13.900 They, for whatever reason, cannot stand this guy.

00:00:17.200 And then Rubio does things like this, okay?

00:00:19.640 Go ahead, Rob.

00:00:20.520 Let's play one of the two clips.

00:00:21.940 Is this him doing Caroline Levitt's job because she's on leave of a –

00:00:25.940 how dare she choose to have a baby, by the way?

00:00:28.480 I mean, you have this tough of a job and you choose to have a baby.

00:00:31.760 But respect to her for doing that.

00:00:33.980 May all of it be great, healthy baby.

00:00:36.860 And I'm sure we'll see the pictures when it's.

00:00:38.420 What's this video here, Rob?

00:00:40.140 This is where Marco Rubio talks about Cuba.

00:00:42.560 Go for it.

00:00:43.120 Here's Marco Rubio talking about Cuba.

00:00:44.980 There's no oil blockade on Cuba per se.

00:00:47.080 Here's what's happening with Cuba, okay?

00:00:48.360 Cuba used to get free oil from Venezuela.

00:00:50.820 Used to give them a bunch of free oil.

00:00:52.400 They would take like 60% of that oil and resell it for cash.

00:00:55.720 It wouldn't even go to benefit the people.

00:00:57.000 So the only blockade that's happened is the Cubans have decided, I mean, the Venezuelans have decided we're not giving you free oil anymore.

00:01:03.200 Their economic model doesn't work.

00:01:04.100 The Venezuelans have decided.

00:01:05.400 It doesn't work. 0.64

00:01:06.160 And the people who are in charge can't fix it.

00:01:07.820 Including Phil Lieber, what's the CIA guy who's sitting behind the desk?

00:01:11.260 That also happens to be friendly territory for some of our adversaries.

00:01:13.020 I can't hear. Go back five seconds.

00:01:14.220 So it's an unacceptable status quo.

00:01:15.780 We're not giving you free oil anymore.

00:01:17.660 Their economic model doesn't work.

00:01:19.820 It doesn't work.

00:01:20.700 And the people who are in charge can't fix it.

00:01:22.380 And we have 90 miles from our shores a failed state.

00:01:25.140 that also happens to be friendly territory for some of our adversaries.

00:01:28.600 So it's an unacceptable status quo.

00:01:30.660 I will be addressing it, but not today.

00:01:32.680 How long before we take over Cuba?

00:01:35.120 He said something.

00:01:35.820 He says, when this is over, all we're going to have to do is bring a big ship

00:01:40.260 and put it right in front of Cuba, and then they're going to say, 0.54

00:01:43.520 here you go, take it over, right?

00:01:45.720 When Trump said that.

00:01:47.100 And then what's the other clip?

00:01:48.200 Rubio's asking, he sells America.

00:01:49.800 Is this the one where, you know, he's asking him a question

00:01:52.520 and he talks about how amazing America is?

00:01:54.560 No, I can find that. I'll find that. This is where he talks about Operation Fury being over in the next part of the war in Iraq.

00:02:01.520 Go for it.

00:02:02.660 I think you're linking it. The operation is over. Epic Fury is a president notified Congress. We're done with that stage of it.

00:02:09.820 We're now on to this project of freedom. As far as a negotiation is concerned, I think the president's been clear that part of the negotiation process has to be not just the enrichment,

00:02:18.520 But what happens to this material that's buried deep somewhere that they have still have access to if they ever wanted to dig it out?

00:02:24.720 That has to be addressed. And that's being addressed in the negotiation.

00:02:28.500 I'm not going to go further on what progress has been made on that topic because I don't want to endanger the negotiations.

00:02:32.720 But suffice it to say that the president and this entire team is aware of the centrality of that question.

00:02:37.840 And that will have to be addressed one way or the other.

00:02:41.320 Thoughts, Rubio, sharp, clean, crisp, authoritative.

00:02:46.340 You feel confident.

00:02:47.440 You feel like he's going to leave and he's going to do something.

00:02:50.040 You don't feel like Superman.

00:02:51.280 You don't feel like Incredible Hulk.

00:02:52.620 You feel like that guy knows what he's doing and he's going to go out and get something done.

00:02:55.860 That's the feeling you get.

00:02:57.080 This is the clip I wanted to show you guys.

00:02:58.640 This is the dream.

00:03:00.080 Watch him sell the dream.

00:03:01.020 Go ahead, Rob.

00:03:01.420 You've had a deep faith for God and country.

00:03:05.240 At the end of the day, with all that you've been involved in, you've been extremely busy.

00:03:09.580 Go ahead.

00:03:10.080 I'm sorry.

00:03:10.320 As we all know, I've got to ask you, what is your hope for America at a time such as this?

00:03:16.960 My hope for America?

00:03:18.180 And how do you personally deal with that?

00:03:21.080 Yeah, look, I mean, my hope for America is what it's always been.

00:03:23.200 I think it's the hope I hope we all share.

00:03:25.020 We want it to continue to be the place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything,

00:03:28.960 where you're not limited by the circumstances of your birth, by the color of your skin, by your ethnicity,

00:03:33.620 but frankly, it's a place where you are able to overcome challenges and achieve your full potential.

00:03:37.800 I think that should be the goal of every country in the world, frankly.

00:03:40.520 But I think in the U.S., we're not perfect.

00:03:42.520 Our history is not one of perfection, but it's still better than anybody else's history.

00:03:46.220 And ours is a story of perpetual improvement.

00:03:48.640 Each generation has left the next generation of Americans freer, more prosperous, safer.

00:03:53.140 And that is our goal as well.

00:03:54.560 But it is a unique and exceptional country.

00:03:56.380 And as we come upon this 250-year anniversary, I think we have a lot to learn and be proud of in our history.

00:04:01.680 It is one of perpetual and continuous improvement,

00:04:04.060 where each generation has done its part

00:04:06.060 to bring us closer to fulfilling the vision

00:04:07.880 that the founders of this country had upon its founding.

00:04:11.880 Don't you just love that?

00:04:13.180 Yeah.

00:04:13.560 How do you feel about listening to it?

00:04:15.260 I mean, he's transformed since 2016.

00:04:17.280 I remember he was like the sweaty, nervous guy,

00:04:19.040 that little Marco leaned out into the picture

00:04:20.780 and sipped the water,

00:04:22.280 and like reading off of his cell phone

00:04:23.740 when he was giving speeches.

00:04:24.740 So yeah, transformed into a different guy.

00:04:26.520 Very impressive.

00:04:27.780 Yeah.

00:04:28.100 Straight from the heart,

00:04:29.060 and it's exactly what I want to hear.

00:04:30.660 I want someone to say,

00:04:32.140 we are still the best place,

00:04:33.720 and we are still the best history.

00:04:35.300 No, we're not perfect, but we got to wake up and work on it every day.

00:04:38.420 Guess what?

00:04:38.840 That's the whole message.

00:04:40.240 That's why I'm here.

00:04:41.340 That's why I'm working hard, and that's why it matters.

00:04:44.160 That's it, the improvement.

00:04:45.300 When he said we continuously try to improve,

00:04:48.200 and what's different about the United States,

00:04:50.460 I mean, there are other countries too,

00:04:51.440 but different about the United States is that's actually possible.

00:04:54.640 Yeah, it is.

00:04:55.340 This is the greatest country in the world, hands down,

00:04:57.940 and it's our job to make sure we maintain it and we fight for it.

00:05:01.220 And if you have a way of positively influencing and protecting this, I think we should do what we do.

00:05:08.240 This is one of the reasons why we started Valuetainment.

00:05:10.180 It's one of the reasons why we do what we do with our companies.

00:05:13.300 Because we think every day somebody wakes up, you know, wanting to destroy America, wanting to destroy what we built.

00:05:20.060 And every day, a group of people wake up wanting to protect and take it to the next level.

00:05:24.680 I think there's more of group one than group two.

00:05:27.820 And I think group two needs to unify, come together and keep fighting.

00:05:31.420 And we don't have to be 100% agreeing on every single thing.

00:05:34.380 But as long as you are on the position of capitalism is the best economical system,

00:05:38.660 America is the greatest country in the world,

00:05:40.580 as long as we rely on that and we're doing whatever we can to make it better for kids,

00:05:45.580 I think we're going to be on the same page.

00:05:46.960 And this is why when I run into people,

00:05:48.360 especially when we go to our conferences or event or cigar lounge

00:05:51.260 or people that come up that follow the content, you speak to them,

00:05:54.100 we share common values and principles.

00:05:56.260 And I love running into you, especially when you've got the gear on.

00:05:59.280 By the way, for some of you guys that are commenting below, you're like,

00:06:02.500 my God, is it too late for me to do it?

00:06:04.940 Here's what we'll do.

00:06:06.240 I just told the guys we're going to keep it open for the survey for one more hour

00:06:10.880 before we close the survey, and it's going to end up costing us a million bucks.

00:06:15.280 Did you run that by the accountant first?

00:06:16.920 No, to be honest with you, we're going to keep it.

00:06:19.880 I talked to the guys, Greenlight, don't worry about it.

00:06:21.880 So this is, what, 11-10 right now.

00:06:23.920 We will keep it open until 12.15 Eastern Standard Time.

00:06:26.980 If you haven't done the survey and you want to participate in it and answer thoroughly,

00:06:31.340 go to survey.vt.com, survey.vt.com.

00:06:37.320 The $25 gift card applies to you guys as well.

00:06:40.300 If some of you guys are saying, I still haven't seen the gift card that came in for us,

00:06:43.800 added the 12,000 emails, we've already sent out 4,000.

00:06:47.060 The other 8,000 is in the process, so it's coming.

00:06:49.860 You're going to get it today.

00:06:50.720 those of you guys that did the survey we originally thought because it's a lot of questions it was

00:06:56.580 27 of them we said we're going to give a 25 gift card so we sat with finance and we said guys it's

00:07:02.800 not like it's going to be that many anyways we said let's put a budget of 25 to 50 000 for these

00:07:08.340 25 gift cards well the report comes out this morning from our digital marketing team 11,976

00:07:18.240 of you did the survey, which is going to cost us $290,000 for this gift card.

00:07:27.080 And a lot of you guys were tweeting saying, am I going to get the gift card?

00:07:29.940 If you completed the survey, you check your email today at 9 o'clock.

00:08:21.340 saying it is so revealing, the report that came back.

00:08:25.740 FYI, just so everybody knows, nobody knows what the results were.

00:08:29.280 Tom doesn't even know the results.

00:08:30.560 It's driving him insane.

00:08:31.680 But I get teased a lot.

00:08:33.100 Yeah.

00:08:33.720 Brandon this morning is like, come on, tell me, where am I?

00:08:36.560 And him and Humberto are getting to him.

00:08:38.020 Humberto's holding people hostage.

00:08:39.240 I don't like what he's doing, but he loves it.

00:08:41.260 He loves this kind of stuff.

00:08:42.380 If you want to see what the report results were,

00:08:45.180 we may make a one-pager, two-pager to kind of share with the audience.

00:08:49.260 If you text the word PBD to 310-340-1132,

00:08:54.520 again, text the word PBD to 310-340-1132,

00:08:59.400 that report will be sent out to the audience.

00:09:02.280 Our YouTube guy called and says,

00:09:04.280 wait, you guys did a survey on your audience

00:09:06.440 to ask what they didn't like and did like.

00:09:08.640 Yes, we did.

00:09:09.740 Nobody does this.

00:09:11.100 And you gave away $25 gift card.

00:09:13.140 How many people?

00:09:14.080 You spent $300,000.

00:09:15.380 You said, well, we weren't expecting $300,000, but it's already too late.

00:09:18.520 So there you have it.

00:09:19.580 So everybody that completed it, I want to say thank you on behalf of the team.

00:09:23.320 This is great intel for us on finding ways to improve the product that we have here.

00:09:28.080 And without your feedback, we're going to read every single one of the pieces of feedback.

00:09:31.980 And some of you guys may even get a call from us.

00:09:34.320 So, again, text PBD to 310-340-1132.

00:09:38.240 We may send a report to you guys specifically in a text once we have that report.

00:09:42.800 And some people are not going to like it, but it is what it is.
