00:00:00.000 Here's two clips.
00:00:01.040 You're talking about old people, okay? 1.00
00:00:02.960 And one is Nancy Pelosi, one is Mitch McConnell.
00:00:05.540 Okay, let's start off with, you know, Nancy Pelosi first, Rob. 0.99
00:00:10.420 She's got, listen, her and Katie Porter have similar tempers. 1.00
00:00:13.960 Look, there's a part of this.
00:00:14.860 She doesn't change, though.
00:00:15.220 This one doesn't change, man.
00:00:16.280 No, but she's a move. 1.00
00:00:17.420 Look at this, folks.
00:00:18.420 Watch this.
00:00:19.660 Watch this.
00:00:20.220 Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the new January 6th committee will find you liable for that day?
00:00:25.960 Great hair from this angle.
00:00:27.160 Are you at all concerned about the new January 6th committee finding you liable for that day?
00:00:31.520 Watch this.
00:00:32.300 Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?
00:00:35.580 Uh-oh. 1.00
00:00:37.060 Shut up. 1.00
00:00:38.220 I did not refuse the National Guard. 1.00
00:00:40.160 The president didn't send it.
00:00:41.560 Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you're a serious journalist?
00:00:45.980 The American people want to know.
00:00:47.040 We still have questions.
00:00:47.980 Watch the smile of the journalist.
00:00:48.440 Thank you.
00:00:48.940 I love her.
00:00:49.120 Watch the smile.
00:00:49.900 Hi.
00:00:52.180 I know I got a clip.
00:00:53.400 Yeah.
00:00:54.160 Oh, she got a clip.
00:00:55.920 I love it.
00:00:57.160 That's the beauty of journalism.
00:00:58.700 Oh, she got it.
00:00:59.400 So, Vinny, what are you thinking about this with Nancy Pelosi?
00:01:02.040 She's lying.
00:01:02.660 Don't you have the clip?
00:01:03.640 I sent it.
00:01:04.380 Yeah.
00:01:04.660 Rob, I think I sent you the clip of her.
00:01:07.040 If you just put Nancy Pelosi turning down January 6th.
00:01:10.360 Look at Stephen Sund.
00:01:12.240 Stephen Sund.
00:01:13.160 In the back of the car?
00:01:14.480 Stephen Sund, who was the chief of Capitol Police, said, and Rob, you could put Stephen Sund on top of that as well.
00:01:19.860 He said multiple times, Patrick.
00:01:22.300 He kept asking.
00:01:23.740 They knew what was going to be happening.
00:01:25.520 They knew it was happening.
00:01:26.640 And they kept denying it.
00:01:28.180 Denying it.
00:01:28.820 Denying it.
00:01:29.560 Then, the FBI had to admit recently they had 275 FBI agents walking around.
00:01:35.680 Some other guys.
00:01:36.540 Bro, let's just stop playing games.
00:01:39.180 Not us.
00:01:39.600 I'm talking about the Democrats out there.
00:01:41.460 You know exactly what happened.
00:01:42.960 They set everything up.
00:01:44.080 They wanted it to be mayhem.
00:01:45.520 And then they started shooting paintballs and all that stuff into the crowd to make it happen because they wanted to use it to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.
00:01:52.940 And it backfired.
00:01:53.580 This is her. 0.54
00:01:54.740 This is Nancy Pelosi, the shut-up, yelling, angry lady, denying, denying the National Guard. 1.00
00:02:00.660 Go ahead, Rob.
00:02:01.400 We have responsibility, Terry.
00:02:03.460 Yeah, Terry.
00:02:04.000 We did not have any accountability for what was going on there.
00:02:08.540 And we should have.
00:02:09.540 Wow. 0.98
00:02:10.280 This is ridiculous. 1.00
00:02:12.060 Watch your daughter. 0.96
00:02:12.760 You asked me in the middle of the thing when they've already breached the inaugural stuff that, should we call the Capitol Police?
00:02:23.600 I mean, the National Guard?
00:02:25.580 Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with?
00:02:30.360 They thought that they had sufficient resources.
00:02:32.080 No, there's not a question of how they had made it.
00:02:34.200 They don't know.
00:02:36.000 They clearly didn't know.
00:02:37.640 And I take responsibility for not having them.
00:02:40.960 Boom.
00:02:41.300 And Steven's son, Robby, if you could look back, this guy.
00:02:44.220 What does that mean she takes responsibility?
00:02:45.260 She takes responsibility.
00:02:46.040 What does that mean exactly?
00:02:46.700 Right here.
00:02:47.360 Yeah, this is it.
00:02:48.380 This is a tweet from Nancy Pelosi.
00:02:50.260 Ma'am, it's long past, to be honest, with the American people on January 3rd.
00:02:52.900 I requested the National Guard assistance on the 3rd, three days before, but your sergeant-at-arms denied it.
00:02:59.280 All right?
00:02:59.600 Under federal law to USC 1970, I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval.
00:03:05.620 And again, he says, your sergeant-at-arms, again, on January 6th, denied my urgent request for over 70 agonizing minutes running it up the chain for your approval.
00:03:15.060 So some would say, Pat, that they were like, you know what, guys?
00:03:17.960 Let's let this thing freaking burn because this guy is still going to be a threat and he's still going to want to run for president.
00:03:24.440 It's unbelievable what they did.
00:03:26.240 And all of it is starting to unravel.
00:03:28.140 And I hope to God she gets freaking held accountable for what she did. 0.60
00:03:31.800 She does because she's at fault.
00:03:33.840 She's at fault.
00:03:34.660 So, by the way, she's 85 years old.
00:03:36.640 Yeah.
00:03:36.940 And where she's at, she's being called out.
00:03:38.200 Now, this is Mitch McConnell.
00:03:39.940 Mitch McConnell is simply trying to walk.
00:03:42.540 At least Nancy can walk. 1.00
00:03:43.980 By the way, I don't know what it is to be 83, 85.
00:03:46.840 But there's a president who's 79, about to turn 80, and he's doing fine walking.
00:03:50.580 It's very, everybody ages differently.
00:03:53.240 Here's Mitch McConnell.
00:03:54.100 Go ahead, Rob.
00:03:57.380 It's tough to watch because you can tell his knees are buckling.
00:04:00.940 And they let him go right here.
00:04:02.960 Like, guide him.
00:04:07.720 He needs a guy.
00:04:09.180 Why'd you let go?
00:04:10.420 His shoes hit each other.
00:04:11.600 No step.
00:04:12.640 Nothing on the floor.
00:04:13.860 His two shoes bumped into each other.
00:04:16.100 I feel bad for the guy.
00:04:17.200 That's so sad.
00:04:18.360 Dude.
00:04:19.220 Excuse me.
00:04:20.420 You can get up and smile.
00:04:23.900 Why don't you just leave the business?
00:04:26.120 Ah, they keep up.
00:04:27.140 Let me tell you something.
00:04:28.060 You know why?
00:04:28.820 I'm going to enjoy your grandkids.
00:04:30.520 Can I finish you?
00:04:31.140 That is, they don't want to let go of that power.
00:04:34.680 Them, the Chuck Grassley's, the Nancy Pelosi.
00:04:37.340 And the one thing, just to go back about January 6th, what infuriates me is what they did to all those people.
00:04:42.960 They knew what they wanted, Pat.
00:04:44.100 And they put so many people in jail, like in solitary confinement because they wanted to make an example.
00:04:49.680 Don't ever question us.
00:04:50.800 Don't ever go against us.
00:04:51.800 Or grandmothers that were waving a flag are going to go into jail. 1.00
00:04:55.080 People that weren't even there got put into jail. 0.82
00:04:57.740 And that was their attempt to shut any freaking dissent.
00:05:00.300 Anybody that wants to fight back for America because they know we got cheated, they tried to, and they did. 0.96
00:05:04.800 They've ruined so many freaking people's lives.
00:05:06.980 They have police records for the rest of their lives. 0.96
00:05:09.240 Insurrection.
00:05:09.860 It's absolutely hoarse. 0.97
00:05:11.020 January 6th was such a freaking sham. 0.86
00:05:12.820 I had somebody message me the other day about the thing with the Lincoln Project. 0.94
00:05:16.800 Remember, January 6th was worse than 9-11. 0.99
00:05:18.980 Shut up. 0.99
00:05:20.120 What was his name? 1.00
00:05:21.300 That was Steve Schmidt.
00:05:22.820 Get the hell out of here, bro.
00:05:23.900 Your boy Schmidt.
00:05:24.420 The guy manected you?
00:05:25.600 No, not him.
00:05:26.640 Steve Schmidt manected you?
00:05:28.080 Some guy goes, that's how I found you.
00:05:29.640 And I downloaded manect to let you know that you ruined that guy because the January 6th stuff is coming back up.
00:05:34.060 There's two issues here, and both of them are in plain sight.
00:05:36.520 January 6th was a sham.
00:05:37.800 There were over 250 federal agents that were actually facilitating or agitating themselves.
00:05:46.420 You have Nancy Pelosi in the car.
00:05:49.200 You know, it's not AI.
00:05:50.560 That video's been out there.
00:05:51.760 So we all know J6, and hopefully we get justice for the Americans that went to prison and the things that happened, 0.72
00:05:59.140 and our president came out quickly with executive orders.
00:06:03.780 Big help.
00:06:04.800 Thank you very much, Mr. President, for all that.
00:06:06.600 The second issue that's in plain sight is look at the condition of Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell.
00:06:12.180 They're holding on to handlers the way – and I'm not going to pick on age.
00:06:17.280 They are suffering the natural progression of an aging person.
00:06:23.020 It doesn't make them bad.
00:06:24.660 It just makes them very old.
00:06:27.340 And the people that are keeping them in power – Vinny, I want to give you just a little calibration on it.
00:06:33.360 It's not them, although it is them.
00:06:36.540 It's the apparatus that's around them that's using their votes in this industry, that industry, that industry,
00:06:43.680 and is using their power to get the things they want.
00:06:47.700 Mitch McConnell does not look like he's read a 20-page congressional briefing on a key piece of legislation in a long time.
00:06:54.880 He has had slurring issues.
00:06:57.640 He's had almost what looks like he's starting to have a stroke.
00:07:00.780 It was terrible, terrible.
00:07:02.400 You know what?
00:07:03.180 So if you should take a tip, government of America, from corporate America.
00:07:09.440 Corporate America, why are they concerned about the vitality of their CEO and their board of directors?
00:07:14.460 Because they owe a return to the shareholders.
00:07:16.480 And the shareholders have a habit of suing directors if they don't do it right.
00:07:21.940 Check this out.
00:07:24.280 Most S&P – no, the majority of the S&P 500 have a policy of 70 or 72 years old for directors on their boards.
00:07:34.020 Did you know that, Pat?
00:07:35.160 Most – majority, so more than 50% of the S&P 500 say at 70 to 72 years old, you need to retire your board seat or put somebody else in there.
00:07:44.000 Target used to have a mandatory retirement age of 65 for the CEO.
00:07:49.320 They just recently extended that.
00:07:51.300 Do you hear some examples?
00:07:52.680 IBM had a 60.
00:07:55.300 They encouraged at age 57 the CEO to put in a transition plan.
00:08:01.660 Age 60.
00:08:02.760 It was followed to the letter by all the CEOs up to and including Sam Palmisano.
00:08:08.040 Ginny Romnetti was doing well, first woman CEO of IBM.
00:08:11.480 And her transition plan went to specifically 63, so it was about a three-year plan.
00:08:16.600 But at age 60, it was in place apparently.
00:08:19.080 She retired in 2020.
00:08:20.820 And then the current CEO, Arvind Krishna, is now over 60.
00:08:26.620 However, there's already discussions about putting the plan in place.
00:08:30.820 And the director retirement age for IBM is mandatory by the 74th birthday.
00:08:35.640 So why is it that corporate America takes a look at the aging that says, are you still a good advisor?
00:08:41.860 Yes.
00:08:42.340 Are you still a healthy person with vitality?
00:08:45.860 Yes.
00:08:46.260 But are you ready for the rigors of the 18-hour workday of being a CEO?
00:08:51.240 If that applies to Fortune 500 companies, why does that apply to the Fortune 1, which is the United States of America?
00:08:57.960 Thank you very much.
00:08:58.940 And would you approve or would you all agree that when it comes to government, when it comes to the people that are making decisions that affect our lives, at 65, every year, they all, the ones that are making the Chuck Grassley's, having mental acuity tests.
00:09:15.680 I'm talking about like record them. 0.93
00:09:17.560 I want to see them take a freaking test. 0.97
00:09:18.960 And if you don't pass, you're out. 0.96
00:09:20.780 If you can't answer simple questions and you're not there and you need somebody, by the way, if you need somebody to guide you and walk you around, you're not there.
00:09:29.400 And I'm sorry.
00:09:30.000 You're making decisions that are going to affect my life.
00:09:32.100 Well, I'm sorry.
00:09:33.020 I don't know about the mental acuity test, but the biggest test that they have to pass is do the voters want to vote for this person?
00:09:38.340 And in the case of Mitch McConnell, this guy's 187 years old.
00:09:41.380 How old is he?
00:09:42.200 This guy's obviously not there.
00:09:44.720 Believe it or not, Pelosi's older.
00:09:46.920 She's older.
00:09:47.440 Okay, Pelosi's 84 years old.
00:09:49.960 But the point is this.
00:09:51.100 There's a difference between being 80 and completely cognitive and healthy.
00:09:55.360 Trump is 79, doesn't sleep, works his ass off.
00:09:58.300 You're not going to get me to tell me his age is a factor. 0.96
00:10:00.920 That's a big max.
00:10:01.340 Nancy Pelosi, as much as you may disagree with her or not like her, she's still all there.
00:10:05.940 Mitch McConnell's 83 years old.
00:10:07.720 The guy's barely functioning.
00:10:09.400 It's weekend at McConnell's out here.
00:10:11.580 And this is elder abuse.
00:10:13.720 And the people of Kentucky continue to vote.
00:10:15.640 This guy's the longest standing Senate majority leader in, I think, U.S. history.
00:10:19.760 18 years.
00:10:20.560 No, I'm done with these guys.
00:10:22.080 What is the most powerful predictor in our elections?
00:10:24.940 One word.
00:10:25.980 What is it?
00:10:26.680 Incumbent.
00:10:27.460 Okay, exactly.
00:10:28.340 Statistically speaking.
00:10:29.060 Yeah, you're right.
00:10:29.640 It's the most powerful word.
00:10:31.580 Listen, with age comes wisdom.
00:10:32.940 I get it.
00:10:33.420 But, you know, Maxine Waters is 86.
00:10:35.740 Chuck Grassley, I want to say, is 95 years old.
00:10:38.020 Something like that.
00:10:39.000 Nancy, we just said 84.
00:10:40.060 Boy, Steny Hoyer, I believe, is 85.
00:10:42.280 Bernie's 83.
00:10:43.480 Bernie's still got it.
00:10:44.560 Trump's still got it.
00:10:45.680 But what they're doing to this guy McConnell is absolutely embarrassing.
00:10:48.920 Remember Dianne Feinstein?
00:10:49.260 She was basically dead.
00:10:51.120 And they just wheeled her into Congress.
00:10:52.540 Well, she actually had died three years prior if they forgot to tell her.
00:10:55.800 They just didn't tell her.
00:10:56.760 Mother, she's in there voting. 0.99
00:10:57.980 And you hear her assistant.
00:11:00.180 Look at her.
00:11:01.080 God rest her soul.
00:11:02.060 But her assistant had to say, Mrs. Feinstein, say yes.
00:11:05.220 And she went, and they took the vote.
00:11:06.220 But it just goes to show you, Tom makes a great point.
00:11:08.080 People go into the voting booth.
00:11:09.520 And have you ever tried to vote in any sort of election?
00:11:11.920 Bro, you need to have a master's in politics to understand what's even happening.
00:11:16.900 We got it.
00:11:17.440 They're old.
00:11:18.000 God bless them.
00:11:18.820 Everything is fine.
00:11:19.780 Future looks bright.
00:11:20.300 Do you vote for an old person like that? 1.00
00:11:21.960 This is the only thing I wear every single flipping day.
00:11:25.840 My back feels better.
00:11:27.860 I'm comfortable.
00:11:28.700 My knees feel better.
00:11:29.600 The Super Hoka trained, authentic leather, made in Tuscany, Italy. 0.96
00:11:33.960 Same exact factories that you were there.
00:11:37.220 We were seeing the Gucci, the Louis shoes being made.
00:11:39.460 Absolutely incredible.
00:11:40.920 The level of comfort that it has.
00:11:43.280 But I got an update for you with sizes.

00:12:12.060 But they only come out second week of December.
00:12:14.280 For everybody else, Rob, who hasn't yet ordered the shoes, okay, who hasn't yet ordered the shoes,
00:12:19.420 Rob, can you please show the video, the commercial that we have.
00:12:24.000 Is this a commercial?
00:12:24.880 Is this a...
00:12:25.160 Okay, go ahead and play this clip.
00:12:26.260 Go for it, folk.
00:12:26.760 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury,
00:12:32.660 we had the choice to make it fast.
00:12:34.960 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:12:37.040 We chose neither.
00:12:38.580 Instead, we chose Toscaniro.
00:12:40.780 We chose true Italian craftsmanship.
00:12:43.500 Each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:12:46.340 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail,
00:12:50.260 and we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:12:54.100 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:12:57.520 Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.
00:13:01.720 Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.
00:13:09.100 There you go.
00:13:10.140 I'm in love, man.
00:13:10.960 I am so in love with this.
00:13:12.100 When a product goes perfect, it goes perfect.
00:13:15.660 Rob, can you go please to vtmerch.com.
00:13:17.980 Okay, go to the bottom.
00:13:19.480 So here's the thing that you've got to keep in mind.
00:13:21.020 Folks, I keep reiterating this because we've been working on this for two years.
00:13:25.980 This is what makes it unique.
00:13:27.180 It takes you seconds to put these FLBs on, okay?
00:13:30.660 Laceless.
00:13:31.580 The first of its kind to have the super critical foam tech in it.
00:13:35.520 When you wear it, you will feel it immediately.
00:13:37.980 Anybody and everybody that I see who's worn this, the first thing they say is,
00:13:41.420 I cannot believe how comfortable this is.
00:13:44.440 Go read the reviews.
00:13:45.640 Go read the reviews of people that have bought these shoes.
00:13:47.980 So now if you buy the same thing with Berluti that matches to it, 1840, Fergamo 895, Zenny 1190, Gucci 950,
00:13:54.820 but they're not laceless.
00:13:56.380 A couple of these are.
00:13:57.840 The craftsmanship, us and Berluti, we're in the five different factories in Tuscan, Italy,
00:14:02.420 and the FLB are the only ones, and I mean the only ones, that have the super critical foam in it.
00:14:07.460 If you haven't placed the order yet, go to vtmerch.com, place the order,
00:14:10.260 and if you want to get a surprise Christmas gift for your husband,
00:14:14.360 the white ones are not going to stay on the shelves for too long.
00:14:17.640 Pre-order the white ones. 0.99
00:14:18.940 They look absolutely ridiculous.
