Venezuelan President Maduro is under increasing pressure from the U.S. to leave the country, and the pressure is only increasing.

00:00:00.000 Maduro tightens personal security as U.S. strikes, threat intensifies.
00:00:04.280 At this point, like, is it even worth reading this?
00:00:06.320 Look, bro, leave.
00:00:07.920 Get the hell out of this.
00:00:08.820 Go to Cuba.
00:00:10.700 Go to Russia. 0.57
00:00:11.660 Go.
00:00:12.680 You don't think he's going anywhere?
00:00:13.760 The writing's on the wall.
00:00:14.660 Okay, so what do you think is going to happen with him if he stays there?
00:00:17.000 He did.
00:00:18.020 He's gone.
00:00:19.400 You know what happened?
00:00:19.800 So read the story.
00:00:20.460 What's the story right now?
00:00:21.180 I'm going to read it to you.
00:00:21.820 Go ahead, sir.
00:00:22.120 I'm going to read it to you.
00:00:23.600 Vinny, I'm going to come to you with this one here, okay?
00:00:25.980 No, actually, Tom, I'm coming to you with this one.
00:00:27.980 I don't know Tom's got some stuff he wants to say.
00:00:29.340 If I can figure out a way to read page 15.
00:00:31.620 All right, here we go.
00:00:32.720 Venezuela authoritarian President Maduro tightened his security arrangements
00:00:36.120 as he holds carefully, choreographed public appearance to rally support
00:00:39.460 in the face of a potential U.S. military action.
00:00:41.520 Recent public appearance, including a Caracas rally last weekend
00:00:45.200 and a televised event with grassroots supporters on Wednesday,
00:00:48.200 have been announced at the last minute with public sector workers
00:00:51.180 and members of a socialist party apparatus that makes a shift
00:00:56.580 from before the U.S. began assembling a major naval presence.
00:01:01.720 Maduro is developing a classic security protocols
00:01:03.880 for when a person is being threatened, said Jose Garcia,
00:01:06.760 a Venezuelan military analyst who has monitored his security procedures.
00:01:11.760 If he holds a public event, he makes sure there are hundreds of people there
00:01:16.480 so the United States won't attack without having to get through several people first.
00:01:20.400 So, Tom, what do you think is going to happen here?
00:01:21.780 Well, first of all, Maduro is definitely under great political stress.
00:01:28.400 He's still got this bounty on his head.
00:01:31.240 There's all these things going on.
00:01:32.700 But the U.S. is still supposedly moving gently here, definitively,
00:01:38.520 but it's gently compared to what we could do.
00:01:40.740 Because we could do the same thing we did to Manuel Noriega.
00:01:44.900 We sailed into Panama, tied the boat to the dock, sent the guys in,
00:01:49.880 told them we were taking him.
00:01:51.560 He went over to the Vatican embassy.
00:01:53.900 The Marine Corps set up speakers,
00:01:56.540 started playing loud rock music outside the embassy at it.
00:01:59.860 And so the Vatican said, dude, you got to get out of here.
00:02:02.800 You're messing up the neighborhood.
00:02:04.120 It's really loud.
00:02:05.080 And so the Vatican embassy told him, you have to go.
00:02:07.720 Go with who?
00:02:08.580 Go with them.
00:02:10.080 Get out.
00:02:10.760 So if the United States wanted to extract Maduro, it would have been done on Tuesday.
00:02:17.920 But right now, I think they want a transition that's to our liking.
00:02:27.100 And you've got Russia and you've got China, which is what we talked about last week, Pat.
00:02:32.000 A lot of stuff down there economically.
00:02:34.080 A lot of JVs.
00:02:35.280 A lot of Chinese oil tankers.
00:02:36.960 And so you don't just go in there and hit Manuel Noriega on the head,
00:02:41.580 take him to court in Florida and stick him in a Florida prison, which is what we did.
00:02:46.400 We took a foreign leader who was a bad guy, 1.00
00:02:50.780 who was no longer playing golf with the CIA the way he used to.
00:02:55.340 And they're like, yeah, we're not having this.
00:02:57.760 And so now Maduro is looking like a guy who's like, are they really going to take me?
00:03:02.280 Are they not going to take me?
00:03:03.040 Are they really going to take me?
00:03:03.740 Not going to take me.
00:03:04.380 And what we're seeing live, Pat, is I think, you know how the U.S. government
00:03:09.600 will sometimes work with other people in your regime?
00:03:12.020 He's suddenly not being seen in public with certain people.
00:03:14.960 Like, has the CIA flipped one or two of his guys?
00:03:19.640 Senor, you do realize that, you know, if we come to get him and you're in the way,
00:03:25.400 you are not very famous.
00:03:27.520 So, you know, so we have this game called Muerta, Muerta, Muerta.
00:03:32.340 Pick one.
00:03:32.940 Yeah.
00:03:33.600 Muerta?
00:03:34.480 Yeah, no.
00:03:35.740 And so this is what's going on.
00:03:39.160 He is trying to hide, and I believe the U.S. is trying to flip people in there.
00:03:44.600 And I also believe the U.S. wants to be very careful about China and Russia, because this 0.96
00:03:49.000 is a big, this is the, this is, what is it, eighth or seventh, seventh or eighth member
00:03:53.660 of OPEC, right?
00:03:54.820 It's the only one that's not there in the Middle East. 0.98
00:03:57.160 And so I think that's what's going on.
00:03:59.460 And now it's like, if he holds a public event, he makes sure 100 people there, so the United
00:04:02.820 States won't attack, maybe we should send him a film of Butler, Pennsylvania, you know?
00:04:07.420 Yeah.
00:04:07.840 There could be hundreds of people, president, you could still get shot at.
00:04:11.300 Yeah.
00:04:11.700 So I think that's what's going on, and I think the noose is tightening.
00:04:14.660 What do you hide if you're him?
00:04:15.340 Tom, what do you hide if you're him?
00:04:16.660 Like, give me a place he goes to.
00:04:19.660 Cuba, Russia, where does he hide?
00:04:21.100 Who are his allies?
00:04:22.140 I think, you know, honestly.
00:04:23.980 I'll tell you.
00:04:25.040 I think he only has one place.
00:04:26.700 He's not going to go to China.
00:04:27.800 China just made deals with them economically. 0.99
00:04:29.940 They have got no desire to cover his butt. 0.98
00:04:32.820 I think the only place he really has a home is probably Cuba. 0.98
00:04:38.480 I thought we were going to say Orlando, but he's saying Cuba like if he goes to Cuba.
00:04:42.220 Mexico?
00:04:43.320 Yep.
00:04:43.680 Well, he's got to get asylum someplace, and he's got to get protection someplace.
00:04:47.120 So he can't leave and make a mess.
00:04:49.800 The only thing, because right now, you're going to go to someplace less secure.
00:04:55.300 So we have a transition of power.
00:04:57.760 He goes, remember the rumor two weeks ago?
00:04:59.620 They said he wanted assurances, if the rumor was true.
00:05:04.320 He had like four demands.
00:05:05.780 And one of them was peaceful transition, and I go someplace else, and you don't off me.
00:05:11.220 You pull off the bounty on my head, and you tell the CIA that they can't do overthrow practice on me once I go somewhere.
00:05:18.420 Right?
00:05:18.540 So I think he has to go to Cuba.
00:05:23.160 China's not going to protect him.
00:05:24.320 He's not going to China?
00:05:25.360 Does he speak Chinese?
00:05:26.060 Does he speak Mandarin?
00:05:26.900 Can I ask a question?
00:05:27.700 No, China cut deals for economics.
00:05:29.480 China's – he is a pawn on the Chinese 3D chessboard. 0.94
00:05:34.620 Correct.
00:05:34.760 You know, as China wants the oil and the influence in our hemisphere.
00:05:38.920 So for somebody that doesn't – like I'm not in Venezuelan politics or – I haven't gone that deep.
00:05:45.260 You're not.
00:05:45.460 But from the outside, it seems like obviously we're interested in the oil.
00:05:50.920 Okay?
00:05:51.160 He's not a good dude.
00:05:52.100 But I mean, you know, all governments do evil stuff, whatever.
00:05:54.740 What was the moment – what was the moment that made them say, okay, this is the moment.
00:05:58.660 This is the time.
00:05:59.720 Now we're going to do it.
00:06:00.620 Now we're going to do the transition, and obviously they're going to have somebody that we're going to want to put in there that's not, you know, combative.
00:06:06.760 That's not going to be like that, Pat.
00:06:07.920 And I could see the power move, meaning Russia's interested and they're involved.
00:06:13.720 China's going to be involved.
00:06:15.320 And we're just open – I mean, by the way, those boats that – I don't even want to say his name.
00:06:20.300 Charlemagne?
00:06:20.720 I'm not going to say his last name because he's not one.
00:06:22.320 And saying that we're just bombing fishermen.
00:06:24.780 No, no.
00:06:25.020 They're sending boats that are potentially going to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans, which I'm fine with. 1.00
00:06:29.880 I don't want people coming here.
00:06:30.680 But what was the – like what's the moment?
00:06:32.780 Was it this year that they were just finally like, okay, that's it.
00:06:35.160 We're going to remove you, and we're going to come in and take it.
00:06:37.340 It's called Trump.
00:06:38.800 No, it's called Rubio.
00:06:40.180 Okay.
00:06:41.060 It's called Rubio.
00:06:42.220 It's called Rubio because if we're putting something together and you come in and you have your guys,
00:06:50.540 like, you know, there is pride when I see my guys in PHP make the kind of money they're making
00:06:55.860 and their lives are changing, I love it.
00:06:58.640 I love seeing what's going on with Vargas.
00:07:00.240 I love seeing what's going on with Hart right now.
00:07:02.560 He's about to be the number one earner in the company.
00:07:04.300 I love that guy.
00:07:04.720 I love seeing what's happened with Gaetan, Sapalas.
00:07:08.480 I love seeing that kind of stuff, right, within the company.
00:07:11.020 Suazos.
00:07:11.480 I just love it.
00:07:12.060 There's something special about it.
00:07:13.940 Trump wants to see his guys win.
00:07:16.600 Okay?
00:07:16.820 Trump wants to see his guys win.
00:07:18.980 Trump wants his guy Rubio to be better than Kissinger.
00:07:22.920 He wants to be able to do that.
00:07:24.180 Now, Kissinger is a very interesting character.
00:07:28.220 So, to me, he wants this victory to be a big victory for Rubio and set him up for 2028 elections.
00:07:35.460 Okay?
00:07:35.700 I think he's just trying to set both of them up.
00:07:37.620 Here's J.D., here's Rubio.
00:07:38.860 Go and see who's going to become the president and do your thing.
00:07:41.640 It's the exchange.
00:07:42.720 Like, you know what the great presidents have?
00:07:44.680 You know what the great presidents have?
00:07:47.020 If you think about the great presidents, their VPs became presidents.
00:07:51.780 Okay?
00:07:52.400 Lincoln.
00:07:53.280 Who was his VP?
00:07:54.460 Grant.
00:07:55.160 He became two-term president.
00:07:56.400 Not a good one, but he became a two-term president.
00:07:58.460 But not a snitch.
00:07:59.680 Okay?
00:08:00.220 Reagan.
00:08:00.840 Who was his VP?
00:08:02.200 That was Bush.
00:08:03.240 He became president.
00:08:04.380 Okay?
00:08:05.200 So, if you go look at Obama, Biden.
00:08:07.720 Biden. 0.97
00:08:08.180 Terrible.
00:08:08.760 But he became president.
00:08:09.900 Auto-pen.
00:08:10.420 By the way, Bush's VP didn't become – who was Bush's VP?
00:08:15.780 Cheney.
00:08:16.620 Rest in peace, buddy.
00:08:17.440 But some people would say he was.
00:08:19.820 Was the president.
00:08:20.500 Yeah.
00:08:20.720 But he was not a people person, right?
00:08:22.520 He played a very different role.
00:08:23.780 And the other day, you know, we had Scott Jennings here giving his perspective.
00:08:27.260 He may – you know, listen.
00:08:28.660 I keep joking about him being the CEO of CNN.
00:08:31.260 Who the hell knows what's going to happen with CNN, right?
00:08:33.340 You know, if somebody buys him, you know, he may end up having a decision.
00:08:37.100 Like, if CBS is doing stuff with Barry Weiss – you heard about what Barry Weiss said?
00:08:41.000 Did you read about this?
00:08:42.000 So, Barry –
00:08:43.160 I just want to say one thing, because I think you're right.
00:08:45.220 This is Rubio.
00:08:46.700 Rubio's very attached to Cuba.
00:08:49.160 Don't forget Trump.
00:08:50.840 Whether it's China and the fentanyl, whether it's the drugs from Venezuela, Trump ain't playing that game.
00:08:56.320 A lot of this – the drug boats that he keeps blowing up, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. 1.00
00:08:59.580 And they keep coming, idiots. 1.00
00:09:00.800 Venezuela's a narco state. 1.00
00:09:02.080 They're basically Syria with oil. 0.95
00:09:05.040 No country has collapsed worse, had a bigger fall from grace than Venezuela in the last 25 years.
00:09:11.720 They were one of the richest countries in the Western Hemisphere.
00:09:14.460 Another terrorist narco state led by this guy Maduro. 0.91
00:09:18.180 The FLB shoes. 0.79
00:09:19.180 By the way, I am officially on – let me see this.
00:09:22.600 I'm on day 57 out of 58 that I've worn these shoes.
00:09:26.340 Love wearing these shoes every single day.
00:09:28.840 I think Vinny's got it on.
00:09:29.940 The other night we went to dinner.
00:09:32.120 Vinny was wearing this black pants, white shirt with the FLB shoes.
00:09:38.400 We walk into the restaurant.
00:09:40.360 Seven girls lined up waiting to meet with Vinny.
00:09:43.160 One girl was crying.
00:09:44.080 She was crying.
00:09:44.760 She was shaking.
00:09:45.380 She was crying.
00:09:45.980 She was shaking.
00:09:46.480 The shoes.
00:09:47.160 I was like, I can't.
00:09:47.940 Are you Ringo Starr?
00:09:48.980 So for those of you guys that are asking about getting the shoes before Christmas for your husband or your sons or your friend, this is what you want to be thinking about.
00:10:00.120 Size black and brown.
00:10:03.440 Size black and brown.
00:10:04.840 Let me see this thing here.
00:10:05.640 So size black and brown, if you want to get them, size 9, 10, and 11 are available to get before Christmas.
00:10:17.060 White, all sizes are available except for 7, 7 1⁄2, and 8 1⁄2.
00:10:21.460 Navy, 8, 9, 9 1⁄2, 10, and 11 are available before Christmas.
00:10:25.620 Of course, after Christmas, shipment is coming.
00:10:27.880 That will be here in New Year's.
00:10:28.640 These things, we can't even keep these on the shelves, to be honest with you, with the shoes.
00:10:32.120 Once you put them on, just go read the reviews, with people writing reviews when they bought them.
00:10:37.580 Once you put them on, you'll realize why this has become as hot of an item for us as we expected it.
00:10:44.440 It took us two years to do this.
00:10:45.620 Rob, if you want to play the clip on that, we'll get into the stories.
00:10:48.000 Here's the FLB Shoes.
00:10:49.000 Go for it.
00:10:49.460 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast.
00:10:56.880 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:10:59.520 We chose neither.
00:11:01.020 Instead, we chose Tuscaneiro.
00:11:03.320 We chose true Italian craftsmanship, each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:11:08.740 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail, and we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:11:16.160 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:11:19.900 Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.
00:11:23.440 Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.
00:11:32.220 I love it.
00:11:33.340 Design in Florida, 100% made in Italy.
00:11:36.160 Folks, if you haven't yet ordered one, we had two guys yesterday that ordered four of all colors.
00:11:43.400 And one of them was from UK.
00:11:46.100 The other one was from Belgium or something like that, ordering these shoes.
