00:00:00.000 This reporter here that Marco Rubio goes on, she's asking the question, saying,
00:00:09.380 how come you didn't get more people? Why did you only get Maduro? Why did you only do this?
00:00:13.860 And just watch, this is why Rubio, to me, is slowly becoming the number one draft pick for
00:00:21.220 2028 election for president. I just want you to see this. Go ahead, Rob, please play this clip.
00:00:26.240 I'm curious, because you just described the regime as still in place, essentially. I mean,
00:00:33.080 I'm curious why the Trump administration decided to leave it intact and only arrest
00:00:39.020 Nicolas Maduro and his wife, the person who controls the police, the chief thug,
00:00:45.300 Diaz-Dao Cabello. He's the interior minister. He's been indicted by the United States. He was
00:00:49.780 in that indictment the administration released. He's a narco-terrorist. There's a $25 million 0.96
00:00:54.920 price on his head. He's still in place. The defense minister, who has deep ties to Russia,
00:01:00.980 $15 million price on his head. He is still in place. I'm confused. Are they still wanted by
00:01:08.000 the United States? Why didn't you arrest them if you are taking out the narco-terrorist regime? 0.98
00:01:14.360 You're confused? I don't know why that's confusing to you.
00:01:17.620 They're still in power.
00:01:18.400 It's very simple. You're not going to go in and wrap up. But yeah, but you're going to go in and
00:01:23.080 suck up five people. They're already complaining about this one operation. Imagine the howls we 0.98
00:01:28.320 would have from everybody else if we actually had to go and stay there four days to capture four
00:01:32.620 other people. We got the top priority. The number one person on the list was the guy who claimed to
00:01:38.580 be the president of the country that he was not. And he was arrested along with his wife who was also
00:01:42.840 indicted. And that was a pretty sophisticated and frankly complicated operation. It is not easy
00:01:47.920 to land helicopters in the middle of the largest military base in the country. The guy lived on a
00:01:52.920 military base. Land within three minutes, kick down his door, grab him, put him in handcuffs, read him
00:01:58.120 his rights, put him in a helicopter, and leave the country without losing any American or any American 0.71
00:02:02.880 assets. That's not an easy mission. And you're asking me why didn't we do that in five other places
00:02:07.040 at the same time? I mean, that's absurd. I do think this is one of the most, you know, daring,
00:02:13.320 complicated, sophisticated missions this country has carried out in a very long time. Tremendous
00:02:19.480 credit to the U.S. military personnel who did it. It was unbelievable and tremendous success. And
00:02:25.060 today, an indicted drug trafficker who was not the legitimate president of Venezuela, who we don't
00:02:30.520 recognize, the Biden administration didn't recognize, 60-something countries don't recognize,
00:02:34.860 the European Union doesn't recognize, and many countries in Latin America don't recognize.
00:02:39.440 He was a convicted, he was a indicted drug trafficker. He was arrested. His wife was arrested.
00:02:44.360 Right. But the others, the others who were also indicted are still, the others who were also
00:02:49.220 indicted are still in place. So that's the point of my questioning there. But you talked about not
00:02:55.500 being the legitimate president. So you wanted us to land in five other military bases? No, I'm asking
00:02:59.600 why you chose that this was the limit of the military operation. The limit? But to your point,
00:03:04.860 that you just made, that Maduro was not the legitimate president. He was the guy who was
00:03:09.160 claiming to be the president. Right. Well, I'm curious.
00:03:13.200 Can I just say one thing? Is this not... Does she think the U.S. military is Superman or Batman
00:03:18.960 or Spider-Man? What planet are you living on that you can't just give praise to the U.S. military?
00:03:24.120 Is that MSNBC? It's a Delta Force saying, wow, what an unbelievable operation.
00:03:28.140 Why didn't you take out every single bad guy in the world? Because that's not life works.
00:03:31.920 She got up in the morning, took a shower, slipped and fell, hit her head, and woke up
00:03:36.340 as Lindsey Graham. So it's like, why didn't you get more people? Why didn't you attack more
00:03:41.040 things? To me, the irony here is you have a liberal media outlet and the mainstream media
00:03:48.060 actually calling for more military intervention. Weird. Weird. No matter which way you put it,
00:03:54.480 this is the best thing. The hypocrisy that is seeping from the left right now. Okay, so we're 0.61
00:03:59.700 going to object to anything that Trump does. Okay, so now you're defending Maduro?
00:04:03.680 Yeah. Now you want more escalation? You're criticizing what he did in Iran? So now you
00:04:10.980 want the Ayatollah power? This is the hypocrisy that's happening there. Trump can cancel your 0.66
00:04:15.960 income taxes and leftists will be like, I want to pay taxes. They're going to complain.
00:04:19.940 It's so stupid. And we're talking about hypocrisy. Bush and Obama spent three trillion dollars. 1.00
00:04:25.380 I'm going to say that again. Three trillion on the wars, 100,000 troops to Afghanistan. We lost
00:04:30.440 almost 2,500 United States military soldiers fighting the damn Taliban. And the whole time, 0.99
00:04:36.780 Osama bin Laden was in Pakistan. Okay, wrap your head and congressional approval. How many strikes
00:04:42.180 happened under Biden with no congressional approval? Do you guys know? Ready for this? 165 strikes.
00:04:47.560 Of course. 85 in Iraq and Syria. 10 in Syria and Iraq combined. 70 in Yemen. Don't forget
00:04:54.040 Yemen. The same with Obama. The same with Obama. Obama killed Osama bin Laden. Zero congressional
00:04:59.100 approval. And George W. Bush got congressional approval and invaded Iraq. Retarded. He and 0.84
00:05:03.800 Obama invited Libya, killed Gaddafi. No approval. In 2016, Rob, do you have that chart? How many
00:05:10.340 bombs did this guy drop? Mr. Black Jesus. How many? 26,171 bombs in one year. So when I say I love 1.00
00:05:19.820 that you came with the signal versus noise. Nobody's hearing your noise on the left. Nobody cares. Who
00:05:25.340 the hell gives a damn what Harry Sisson thinks about this whole geopolitical stage? Nobody gives a 0.72
00:05:30.520 damn. All right. And Pat, just I have a chart. And Obama killed a U.S. citizen abroad and knew that he
00:05:35.760 was going to do it. Yeah. Oh, a thousand percent. Pat, did you see the chart about 0.74
00:05:38.780 Poland and Venezuela? Look at it. Go to that chart, Robbie. Keep going. Keep going. Keep
00:05:45.520 going. Keep going. Oh, is this the change in fortunes? Yeah. Look at this chart, Pat. Did
00:05:49.640 you see this? Zoom in, Robbie. Venezuela, per capita countries, gross domestic product divided
00:05:55.320 by population. Look at that. And go back up. Once they become socialists, look what happened.
00:05:59.520 Once Poland said, no, we're not going to do it. Look at what happened. Isn't that weird?
00:06:03.760 Poland versus Venezuela. Who would have ever thought this? Who would have thought? But I have
00:06:07.800 a different angle. I want to see what you guys think about this. Immediately when the bombing
00:06:11.700 happened, immediately on the third, right after Trump started posting stuff on Truth Social about
00:06:17.860 the 2020 election and Dominion. OK. And one of them was, Robbie, I think is one of these. Pat,
00:06:24.240 look at this. This was a Venezuelan military intelligence whistleblower confirmed the CIA
00:06:28.840 outsourced election rigging technology like Smartmatic and Dominion from Venezuela.
00:06:33.760 OK. So maybe, just maybe. All right. Trump and Maduro. This is just allegedly maybe whatever.
00:06:40.860 They made a deal. Maduro says, OK, I'll let you guys capture me. Come and do the whole thing
00:06:45.580 in return. I'm going to drop dime on every single one of the voting cheating thing that
00:06:50.560 happened in 2020. OK. And if you remember, Pat, Lou Dobbs in 2006 had a whole thing. I'm
00:06:56.340 not going to have Rob play it about cheating at him and all that stuff. And then Sidney Powell.
00:07:00.220 Robby, can you play the one on Sidney Powell? She's been talking about this for years. She got in
00:07:04.700 trouble and everything. Listen to what she talks about.
00:07:06.320 I can hardly wait to put forth all the evidence we have collected on Dominion,
00:07:11.620 starting with the fact it was created to produce altered voting results in Venezuela for Hugo Chavez,
00:07:19.880 and then shipped internationally to manipulate votes for purchase in other countries, including this
00:07:28.480 one. It was funded by money from Venezuela and Cuba and China has a role in it also. We have
00:07:35.040 staggering statistical evidence. We have staggering testimony from witnesses, including one who was
00:07:39.980 personally in the briefing. I'm just saying all of this. You never know what's going to come out of
00:07:44.160 it. Trump, every time I think I know what he's doing, there's always something underneath it that
00:07:49.340 he's doing. By the way, and people want to talk about affordability. Is this oil that we're going
00:07:53.400 to get? Is that going to help the affordability in the United States? Are we going to get lower gas?
00:07:56.520 You know what I love about, there's another clip about Rubio, Western Hemisphere, which I think
00:08:03.580 was brilliant that both he and Trump said, they said, wait a minute, what are you talking about? So the oil
00:08:09.660 that China and Russia and Iran are coming to take, this is on the West, that's the one right there, 0.98
00:08:15.580 Rob. This is on the Western Hemisphere. No, you're not going to come and take it. This is
00:08:19.300 on this side. Go ahead and play that clip, Rob. This was brilliant.
00:08:23.260 If the purpose of the operation was to capture Maduro and bring him to justice,
00:08:28.600 why does the United States need to take over the Venezuelan oil industry?
00:08:33.600 Well, we don't need to. First, let me go back up. We don't need Venezuela's oil. We have plenty of
00:08:40.260 oil in the United States. What we're not going to allow is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be
00:08:45.220 controlled by adversaries of the United States. You have to understand, why does China need their 0.79
00:08:49.520 oil? Why does Russia need their oil? Why does Iran need their oil? They're not even in this
00:08:54.080 continent. This is the Western Hemisphere. This is where we live. And we're not going to allow the 1.00
00:08:57.720 Western Hemisphere to be a base of operation for adversaries, competitors and rivals of the United 0.91
00:09:02.280 States. We also want to see that oil and the proceeds from it. Hold on. We want to see the
00:09:08.140 oil proceeds of that country benefit the people of Venezuela. Why have 8 million people left
00:09:12.920 Venezuela? 8 million, the single largest mass migration probably in modern history,
00:09:17.180 left Venezuela since 2014 because all the wealth of that country was stolen to the benefit of Maduro
00:09:22.560 and his cronies in the regime, but not to the benefit of people of Venezuela. You know how
00:09:26.460 destabilizing 8 million migrants is? The number one fear that Brazil has, that
00:09:32.080 Colombia has, that all these countries in the region have about what's happening in Venezuela
00:09:35.980 and our involvement is they're afraid of another mass migration event. That's what they fear. This
00:09:40.300 is deeply destabilizing stuff. It's not going to continue to happen. They are not going to come
00:09:44.440 from outside of our hemisphere, destabilize our region in our own backyard and us have to pay the 1.00
00:09:49.860 price for it. Not under President Trump. I got this one. So there's an article here that talks about
00:09:55.980 that China doesn't want U.S. hegemony. Do you understand what hegemony means? Hegemony means you
00:10:00.820 run the world. So what do you think that Russia, Iran and China are doing in Venezuela? Hegemony.
00:10:08.640 Do you think they're looking for arepas and big booty Latinas? No. They're interested in the oil 1.00
00:10:13.540 that comes from Venezuela, which has the largest reserve oil in the world. So we need to start
00:10:19.420 acting like grownups here. China wants to take over the world. Do you want to live in a world that 1.00
00:10:23.660 China runs the world or in a world that United States run the world? That's what this all comes 0.95
00:10:27.560 down to. Do you want U.S. running the world or China running the world? Look at who's praising 0.95
00:10:33.320 the actions with Maduro. Look who's looking out for the people of Maduro. Iran made a statement.
00:10:39.960 Russia made a statement. China made a statement. Cuba made a statement. These are all enemies of
00:10:46.820 the United States. Yeah. But but there's there's there's another thing that's that's brewing here
00:10:50.780 behind closed doors, which is very weird. You're making the Monroe Doctrine, which they talked
00:10:55.760 about. If I could just say this Monroe Doctrine is James Monroe said basically U.S. runs the
00:11:00.920 Western Hemisphere. Now, he said that before we had nuclear weapons. I'm not old enough to remember
00:11:06.080 this. Tom, you might know this. There was something called the Cuban Missile Crisis in
00:11:09.080 1960. So whatever. OK, so when JFK was president. So why were we so against Cuba having missiles
00:11:17.400 because they're 90 miles off the coast of Miami? Why do we want these foreign adversaries, 0.81
00:11:23.560 enemies, you may call them, having access to a country on our hemisphere where they can set
00:11:29.700 up camp and attack the United States? To me, this is sending a message. We're not playing
00:11:34.920 around. This is grown up stuff. You might not like Trump interfering. He gets in. He gets
00:11:41.040 out. He takes out Maduro. He removes the nuclear capabilities of Iran. He gets in and out. Soleimani
00:11:47.540 in and out. He's not starting foreign wars. The whole argument that Trump's starting foreign
00:11:52.340 wars. What foreign war? You're making that up. He's in. He's out. He's precision.
00:11:57.120 Yeah. This is again. Yes. I saw the whole thing with Iran, with China, with, you know,
00:12:04.420 who's responding to, oh, my God, what's going on? Who's criticizing it? I've been getting
00:12:08.400 a lot of my next about people talking about what they want to do with their culture in
00:12:12.260 2026 going into 2026. And for us, it's very clear. If you want to find out how specific
00:12:20.500 our culture is at value team. And we went from having nine employees just a couple of years
00:12:25.240 ago to not have a nearly 160, 170 employees, full-time employees here on our campus here.

00:12:47.700 It's 1999. Go get it. Read it for yourself. We even went to a company the other day in
00:12:52.240 Arkansas. We were looking at them. Their entire code of honor was pretty much every single
00:12:56.240 thing that we said, except for one of them. And it had it in their front lobby. You can
00:13:00.220 obviously go out there and change it up and do it for whatever you want to do with your
00:13:03.020 company. But this could be a way for you to get some ideas for your business going into
