Transcript
00:00:00.320
At first, you see Zelensky posts a video of meeting some of the guys of what he was going to wear.
00:00:07.920
And everyone's like, dude, this guy's not going to show up with it.
00:00:10.200
Are you freaking, I was myself annoyed, saying, are you kidding me what a terrible diplomat this guy is if he's not showing up with a suit?
00:00:19.540
The pre-meeting. The t-shirt, all this stuff walking around.
00:00:22.120
Still disrespectful. Look at everybody's dressing in a suit.
00:00:25.780
But this is the rehearsal. He's meeting everybody and still got a t-shirt on.
00:00:28.720
So then, all of a sudden, Trump is doing his, waiting to see what the guy is wearing when he gets out of the car.
00:00:37.720
And here's what it looks like when Zelensky shows up.
00:00:39.940
Okay, show this clip. Watch this one here. Go ahead, Rob.
00:00:49.320
Dude, if he walked out with t-shirt and shorts, Trump would have slapped him right in the face.
00:01:12.460
That looks like me standing on the porch waiting for a guy to come take one of my daughters out.
00:01:24.160
You know, it's just like, because who was the alpha there?
00:01:31.740
Zelensky had to move out of the car toward him.
00:01:33.900
Pat, if you were there standing and some young man came to pick up Senna, you'd probably have a gun?
00:01:41.780
I mean, I'm just going to have such great conversations.
00:01:52.120
I just want to show you guys what it was like the last time they had a meeting.
00:01:56.380
I want to remind you, Rob, if you can show this clip here.
00:02:05.140
And by the way, I'm telling you, we've not even reacted to this clip.
00:02:11.320
No, we've not even reacted to this a couple months ago.
00:02:13.840
I want you to see how heated it got the last time where Trump pushed them in ways where
00:02:20.400
you can really tell he was not happy and you can tell diplomacy lacked from the other
00:02:27.820
side, being entitled, coming in with what America has done for him.
00:02:41.620
Look, if you could get a ceasefire right now, I tell you, you take it.
00:02:45.880
So the bullets stop flying and your men stop getting killed.
00:02:53.820
Because you'll get a ceasefire faster than an agreement.
00:03:02.360
That was with a guy named Biden who was not a smart person.
00:03:09.680
That was with Obama who gave you sheets and I gave you javelins.
00:03:13.580
I gave you the javelins to take out all those tanks.
00:03:19.220
In fact, the statement is Obama gave sheets and Trump gave javelins.
00:03:26.760
She's asking what if Russia breaks the ceasefire.
00:03:37.320
Well, they broke it with Biden because Biden, they didn't respect him.
00:03:45.360
He might have broken deals with Obama and Bush.
00:03:58.260
The problem is I've empowered you to be a tough guy.
00:04:03.240
I don't think you'd be a tough guy without the United States.
00:04:13.640
I don't think it's going to be pretty, but you'll fight it out.
00:04:22.840
So just want to put this, that's the last meeting.
00:04:30.340
Rob, if you can go to the clip of what happens with this meeting, right, when they're together.
00:04:34.960
This time around, he's got everybody sitting in front of his desk.
00:04:44.400
This is actually an interview that he did with Fox News where he confirms that the U.S. will provide air support for Ukraine if they come to a peace deal.
00:04:52.160
When it comes to security, they're willing to put people on the ground.
00:04:55.100
We're willing to help them with things, especially probably if you could talk about by air because nobody has the kind of stuff we have.
00:05:06.480
I think if a deal is made, you know, famous last words, right?
00:05:09.780
But I think if a deal is made, I think Russia's had it.
00:05:13.320
And for a very extended period of time, I don't think there'll be a problem.
00:05:20.060
It can't be NATO because that's just not something that would ever, ever happen.
00:05:28.220
I mean, if you were Russia, who would want to have your enemy, your opponent sitting on your line?
00:05:34.940
So it was always thought that Ukraine was sort of a buffer between Russia and the rest of Europe.
00:05:45.420
Everything worked out well until Biden got involved.
00:05:49.180
So, Tom, your thoughts on this meeting, the visit, the videos, the clips.
00:05:56.520
And it ended without any of the Europeans going to the newspaper and saying stuff.
00:06:02.220
You remember when the fight happened in the Oval Office, what you were showing there.
00:06:11.360
And the first place that Zelensky went, remember this, Vinny?
00:06:14.440
Zelensky is now shaking hands, going around Europe with a pat on the head to her.
00:06:24.560
Zelensky says no to the American media, specifically Fox.
00:06:31.280
So everybody left the negotiation table not leaking or popping off.
00:06:37.380
That tells me that the moderation that Trump provided got people to talk and then not leak and go home, point one.
00:06:47.280
Point two, it says you suddenly had Putin from afar saying something halfway positive about coming together to talk.
00:06:58.620
Whatever you did, Putin is suddenly not over there.
00:07:05.360
So what I'm seeing, the word trilateral is working, and people are going to understand what this means.
00:07:13.080
I am here, and I will try, and the triangle is the two people that are fighting.
00:07:17.840
And I believe this is a master class in negotiation.
00:07:26.120
And then Putin speaks up and says, well, maybe in the next step we will get together.
00:07:30.420
We will have the meeting, which is what Trump said he thought would happen after he met with Putin.
00:07:35.840
So it's coming true, and it's not falling apart.
00:07:39.260
The thing that I don't like is the way the American media is trying to kill it.
00:07:44.400
I feel the American media, MSM, is, like, actively trying to kill it.
00:07:50.600
It's like, and you've got people like Rubio who are speaking back.
00:07:57.200
But you don't know the other five things we did.
00:08:00.380
Yeah, and it's funny because when you're talking about media, the fact that Zelensky is like, I'm not going to Fox.
00:08:08.320
I wonder how much of that is Trump saying, don't even do any interviews with anybody.
00:08:20.340
And then I'll follow up with you guys and tell you what's happening next.
00:08:22.520
I don't know whether that was the exchange or not, but that's the vibe I got.
00:08:30.780
If this is going to work, folks, we're all going to shut up.
00:08:34.100
But, you know, mainstream media talking about, well, I can't believe it was like a friendly thing.
00:08:40.960
President Bush invited Putin to go with his younger, older son to go fishing together.
00:08:49.460
There's all these meetings with other people that they had these, you know, Obama went and sat down with a communist at a baseball game for a couple of days.
00:08:55.940
And they're laughing and the media is celebrating.
00:08:59.680
If this guy wants to come in and create a peace deal.
00:09:02.400
No, he is a guy that's, you know, totally owned by Putin and all the other guys.
00:09:09.200
He's destroyed mainstream media so bad that MSNBC's officially changed their name to Mara Sabatrucha Now.
00:09:20.140
They're so afraid of MS-13 that they changed their name to MS-13 Now.
00:09:25.660
The only thing that's missing is the 13 in the middle.
00:09:27.520
If I was Mara Sabatrucha, I would actually sue them for using our name.
00:09:34.900
You should go out and say, what are you doing using our organizations?
00:09:38.300
Yeah, where is that trademark on the bottom right?
00:09:45.200
As if MSNBC thinks that that's going to change it.
00:09:50.740
Like the people are going to go, oh, this is a new network.
00:09:57.460
In regard to Russia, what people don't understand and all these morons on the left with the media,
00:10:02.720
Bush in 2008, that's during Bush, Russia went to Georgia, right?
00:10:08.300
Obama in 2014, that's when Russia seized Crimea, and then Biden in 2022.
00:10:16.220
And that first meeting was like the arrogant kid, Tom, that spoiled that comes in.
00:10:20.400
And the father who's been away is like, hey, listen, we're not playing that crap anymore.
00:10:23.780
Or the old guy who doesn't even know what the hell day it is or what his name is or who his son is.
00:10:30.820
And this is a great example of a freaking alpha.
00:10:38.680
And as much as they can say, Pat, it's not going to do anything.
00:10:43.640
And by the way, a part of this was the fact that he agreed to sell $90 billion of a weapons package.
00:10:51.360
And the way he apparently brokered this deal, which is brilliant, Rob.
00:10:56.100
The way he brokered this deal is he got, I believe, EU to buy $90 billion of weapons from U.S. to send it to them.
00:11:07.900
EU paid for it, the way they structured this deal.
00:11:10.600
So yes, he's getting the weapons, but now it's like, hey, EU, if you guys want me to keep sending stuff, you guys want the war to end?
00:11:23.800
Then because you don't mind spending our money.
00:11:26.280
Everybody spent some money, but he's now putting more of the onus on them.
00:11:31.380
But Zelensky dressed up in a suit for one person and one person only.
00:11:36.040
If Trump didn't want to, if Trump didn't have an issue with the suit, the guy would have showed up in a T-shirt.
00:11:41.700
As far as MSNBC, one of the main reasons they probably changed their name is because it, how many times does Trump go, MSDNC?
00:11:57.140
As far as Vinny goes, you said that, you know, I'm not trying to pick on you or anything like that.
00:12:00.160
You said that, you know, Trump had nothing to do with Ukraine, what have you.
00:12:12.600
But my point is he was almost impeached over it.
00:12:20.780
But probably the most important thing that Trump said, and this is a global thing, not just Russia and Ukraine, he goes, why would you want an enemy at your gates?
00:12:32.040
Basically, you need to have a buffer talking about almost putting yourself in Russia's position when it comes to NATO.
00:12:40.840
Why do you think we want a wall put up between the border of the United States and Mexico?
00:12:45.680
Why is the DMZ between North Korea and South Korea?
00:12:48.960
Why does India and Pakistan fight over the little piece of land right there?
00:12:53.560
Why is this land in Israel and Gaza need to have a buffer?
00:12:59.820
So when you have enemies at the gate, you better have a freaking buffer, whether it's a wall, whether it's a DMZ zone, whatever it is.
00:13:07.360
So Trump is absolutely like putting yourself in Putin's position.
00:13:10.100
I totally understand why you wouldn't want Ukraine as a part of NATO.
00:13:16.500
Could you imagine if Kamala was negotiating this deal right now?
00:13:21.200
Could you just picture Kamala in the Oval Office meeting with Putin, with world leaders, Zelensky, Keir Starmer, Macron, Georgia Maloney.
00:13:33.540
Could you just how much would she fumble the bag if Kamala was in office?
00:13:40.540
Well, I just want to say that fake impeachment with Vindman and all that, that has nothing to do with them going to war.
00:13:46.040
It was a, by the way, it was someone who heard from someone else that they heard him on the call saying something.
00:13:53.400
And they even released a transcript that it was a perfect call.
00:13:56.700
So I don't know how you're correlating that with an actual invasion and Joe Biden saying, yeah, they can do a minor incursion.
00:14:06.740
You weren't picking on me because it doesn't, it doesn't correlate.
00:14:09.220
My point is, that's why I gave you the disclaimer.
00:14:11.700
I'm not, I'm just saying he did have something to Ukraine.
00:14:17.040
Whether it was a perfect call or a horrible call, he got impeached.
00:14:36.100
And I was expecting him to go hardcore Trump, all this other stuff.
00:14:42.040
This is the first time I saw him where he wasn't fully, it's all his fault.
00:14:46.240
What he did say is he says they were friends in the 90s and whatever, 2000s.
00:14:49.460
They had a 15-year friendship because they would spend some time together.
00:14:55.660
Instead, a lot of other things came up about other folks.
00:14:58.200
But let me stay back on this because I went off a little bit.
00:15:01.260
The point you were making here, Vinny, is on what happened there, it's true when you're thinking about the timing back then.
00:15:07.340
But today, now, if they hold this meeting with everybody, where do they do it?
00:15:11.720
Because some places, if he travels to, those countries can arrest him on crime, what do you call it?
00:15:22.660
I think Putin cannot have the meetings on certain places.
00:15:25.440
They're talking about, you know, I think Putin wants UAE or Russia.
00:15:32.620
I think there was a Budapest, Geneva, Switzerland came up.
00:15:37.140
So this next meeting for them to be had, you know, could be a lot of different places.
00:15:43.560
Rob, can you pull up the clip of when they're standing there?
00:15:47.660
And he says, wow, look at that picture right there.
00:16:18.660
By the way, let me tell you, that moment was 12 seconds.
00:16:22.360
That probably got 50 million, 100 million online views, right?
00:16:29.460
That's what you call a brilliant marketer and a negotiator in one.
00:16:41.720
So it's interesting when he's playing all of those things, and then afterwards, there
00:16:46.220
was the hot mic moment that was released on both sides.
00:16:54.860
There was a couple hot mic moments that took place.
00:17:03.420
This is where the European leaders praised Trump for dealing with the press.
00:17:10.100
That's all we ask for is fairness with the media.
00:18:05.360
Because they see the issues with the press, right?
00:18:41.800
Honestly, how much of a percentage do you think...
00:19:00.220
Like, this is the respect that he's going to show me.
00:19:09.000
So, when you think about that, there's a couple things.
00:19:12.160
In negotiation, you want the other person to come to you.
00:19:17.340
And the part here that Trump doesn't have to think about that.
00:19:29.900
I think it would be wild if this was done in Russia.
00:19:35.120
I think that would be epic if it was done in Russia.
00:19:42.820
Because the same way Putin wouldn't go to Germany,
00:19:48.860
But if I'm Trump for optics, dude, I'd love this thing to be in Russia.
00:19:52.380
It usually happens, like, at a neutral foreign site.
00:19:55.700
The Camp David Peace Accords gave a place for Egypt and Anmar Sadat and Hakan Begin to come together.
00:20:05.800
And then Reykjavik, where the U.S. and Reagan and Gorbachev met to talk about salt and salt, too, I think it was called.
00:20:14.640
So it's pretty traditional to pick a place that's sort of like a neutral field.
00:20:21.380
Go play the Super Bowl in a separate city where nobody has their own fans there and nobody claims favoritism or power moves.
00:20:27.240
Well, Reagan was West Berlin, right, when he announced, tear down that wall.
00:20:32.500
Oh, yeah, that was a speech he made there, but it was in Reykjavik, when he said to Gorbachev,
00:20:40.460
And he turns to him and he said, you should have said yes.
00:20:51.720
Every world leader is coming to the United States, whether it's D.C., whether it's Alaska, to meet with Trump.
00:20:58.540
U.S. is still the world's number one superpower.
00:21:01.100
And you know who's conveniently just like not involved in this whatsoever?
00:21:10.500
The whole world is trying to figure out this peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
00:21:15.620
And China is over there sort of excommunicated, doing their own communist thing over there.
00:21:23.220
But I promise you, you know, I had Ray Lewis here yesterday.
00:21:27.940
And he was telling me when one time, you know, Bernie Sanders, the running back, okay, obviously Barry Sanders.
00:21:35.360
I said Bernie Sanders because that lady on ESPN didn't even know when Drewski was wearing a Barry Sanders jersey and she claimed Shador Sanders.
00:21:42.760
So he tells me one time that Barry Sanders is coming in at a game where he's fighting for a record or whatever.
00:21:52.600
We said to the team, nothing's going to happen.
00:21:58.620
You know who's watching every single clip as if a team that's sitting on the sidelines that they're about to have a bye week because they got another game coming up next week.
00:22:21.920
And they have probably used AI technology to hear other conversations from 20 other people with 60 different screens studying everybody's body language, how people reacted.
00:22:35.020
That's my assumption because, you know, they have a target on what they need to go after, and that's Taiwan.
00:22:39.580
And they almost need to do that because, you know, what you see with the numbers that are coming up with China that they really were affected by tariffs.
00:22:49.920
Today happens to be the National Lemonade Day, okay?
00:22:56.960
So when you think about the National Lemonade Day, we launched this campaign a few months ago.
00:23:01.960
If you remember, Rob, if you can go to it, it was the Zested Forward Lemon Box, which ended up becoming a hit.
00:23:09.720
And we got so many awesome stories and testimonies.
00:23:12.680
The other day, I was reading all the reviews at the bottom of what stories people were saying and the reaction they got from folks.
00:23:25.720
They open it up, and there's a message there, okay, an inspirational message there that they hear.
00:23:31.280
And then outside of the inspirational message, there's a few items.
00:23:35.440
A Zested Forward hat, Future Looks Bright hat, a few other items.
00:23:45.040
So I want to read some of these stories to you of people who use this and send it to others and what their experience was from the people that received it.
00:24:00.300
Help me to surprise gentlemen who has everything and more for his 90th birthday.
00:24:19.600
My sister-in-law is going through chemotherapy.
00:24:22.100
She was very surprised and blessed by the gift.
00:24:24.560
Thank you for thinking of such a lovely gesture.
00:24:30.720
My customer is going through some hard times with business and family.
00:24:34.180
The VT Lemon Box put a smile on his face with a heartfelt thank you.
00:24:41.280
Folks, if you know a friend or family that's going through challenging times, go to vtmerge.com, place the order, zest it forward to somebody, make someone's day.
00:24:49.740
Sometimes the best feeling in the world isn't receiving the gift.
00:24:53.440
Sometimes the best feeling in the world isn't you getting the promotion, isn't you getting all of that.
00:24:56.860
Sometimes it's just doing it for somebody else.
00:24:58.300
So if you want to start your day, you know, for me, anytime I was having a bad day in sales the last 25 years, the first thing I would do when I would go through a lot of rejections, I would call five of my clients or five of my guys, and I would tell them how amazing that I would find a way to make somebody else's day.
00:25:13.860
Then I would perform and go out there and, you know, make my calls and meet with my clients that I needed to.
00:25:18.140
So if you want to be able to do that for somebody else, send this to someone.
00:25:21.720
Not only will you bless someone's day, but it's going to come back and do the same thing to you.
00:25:25.680
Number two, August 27th, I want to remind you guys of what's happening here on the campus.
00:25:31.000
August 27th, we're giving private tours of the entire campus.
00:25:38.220
Literally we're building a futsal field here, one of the biggest futsal fields in all of the state of Florida that's being built right behind me as we speak.
00:25:45.080
Every time people come and see our campus, they're like, we had no idea you guys had nearly 200 employees and you guys are doing all this stuff.
00:25:52.260
So if you're somebody that wants to come and get a private tour of what we're doing here at Valuetainment, line holding, all you need to do is have a ticket that you bought to go to the Valk Conference.
00:26:04.160
So if you're somebody that's going to the Valk Conference, if you get a general ticket, you can come here to network in the hangar.
00:26:10.700
But if you're somebody that gets a platinum or an executive, our guys will give you a tour of the entire operation.
00:26:16.660
Obviously no cameras when you come to the executive floor.
00:26:19.320
And if you get a founder and a CEO ticket sold out, but if you get a founder ticket, and even if you're an existing CEO ticket holder, you come through, I'm going to give you the tour of the entire property.
00:26:28.340
Multiple times with all the other people that are coming down.
00:26:30.680
We've already had hundreds of people that have registered.
00:26:34.040
This is limited to a certain amount of people because we're going to have security all over the place.
00:26:37.680
If you want to go out there and get registered, get yourself a ticket.
