00:00:00.000 Second story I want to get into is what happened with Brown shooting, okay?
00:00:04.180 Brown shooting.
00:00:05.060 So, Tom, I'm going to come to you first.
00:00:07.440 And the reason why I'm coming to you first is because the question I asked you off camera,
00:00:11.500 I don't want to ask you right now because I don't want to bring attention to it,
00:00:14.500 but this is something that you're interested in because we know millions of people get up
00:00:20.840 and they're like, I want to send my kids to college.
00:00:23.080 And the last thing you want to do is you're raising a good kid,
00:00:25.260 all the things they're doing the right way,
00:00:26.840 and then we see a picture of an innocent 19-year-old girl
00:00:29.100 who was the leader of, I think, this Republican party that they had at Brown University,
00:00:36.020 and she will not be going home to be with her family
00:00:40.380 because somebody decided to shoot up this place.
00:00:44.180 Look at her.
00:00:44.680 Beautiful Brown student from Mountain Brook,
00:00:48.760 mourned as bright light after tragic campus shooting.
00:00:51.020 Tom, what facts, what stories do we so far have of what happened with this event?
00:00:55.640 So I'll start with the facts, and then I'll get to my very, very personal thoughts on it.
00:01:01.760 Well, first of all, they don't have a suspect.
00:01:03.720 Yesterday the news was blaring that, oh, we have a person of interest.
00:01:07.140 He's 23 miles away from campus.
00:01:09.200 He drove here from somewhere else.
00:01:10.960 We believe he's a military veteran.
00:01:12.880 They get to him.
00:01:13.720 Apparently they question him.
00:01:14.860 They look at things.
00:01:16.060 Not him.
00:01:16.820 Not on security cameras, vehicle not in the area, whatever.
00:01:20.560 And so they release him.
00:01:21.740 So around midnight we find that the authorities there, campus police, Providence police,
00:01:29.000 detectives, whatever in the area, nobody has anyone in custody.
00:01:32.560 So as of right now there's no one in custody at the time we came on the air today.
00:01:36.560 And they've got descriptions of him, things like this.
00:01:38.680 The other is the police collected what's called the brass, which is the discharged shell casings.
00:01:45.740 And there were more than 40 rounds fired.
00:01:48.400 And there's tragically two people were killed.
00:01:51.440 But 40 rounds could have been so many more deaths.
00:01:55.600 It's horrible that it is.
00:01:57.520 Now, students are saying that the main doors, that when they say hall, they're not talking hallway.
00:02:03.020 A hall is a building full of classrooms on a college campus.
00:02:06.340 So this particular hall, factually, apparently the main doors were open and you could get into the lobby area.
00:02:14.280 And I guess there's restrooms, seating areas.
00:02:16.340 And then the hallways is where the classrooms are.
00:02:20.000 And apparently they did have badge readers on certain classrooms so you can get in.
00:02:23.600 But apparently hardening the target and access control that there is something was lacking there on Brown.
00:02:30.280 When I visited a university where my daughter goes, there are, that's in the downtown of a U.S. city, there are badge readers on most buildings.
00:02:40.120 So like a homeless or a vagrant or somebody can't be walking in.
00:02:43.640 So I don't know how hard the target was at Brown.
00:02:46.580 But students said that you could walk right in the front doors of the hall, although there was access control at some of the classrooms.
00:02:54.920 So that's what we see there.
00:02:56.840 Was the target hard enough?
00:02:58.820 And for me, if you're sending your kids to school, the first member, president of your son or daughter's protection club is your son or daughter.
00:03:11.660 Knowing where you are at all times, knowing where escape routes are, knowing where, you know, safe rooms are, knowing where the on campuses, many of them use a police signaling system.
00:03:24.180 It's a post.
00:03:24.880 You hit the button.
00:03:25.920 I think they have this down at Miami College right in the middle of Miami downtown where you go to these posts.
00:03:31.740 You hit the button.
00:03:32.600 Lights go on and it's a bright blue light and it signals people.
00:03:36.160 Help is on the way.
00:03:37.160 But there's also on patrol.
00:03:39.360 You have to work with your kids to know where they're going to be and know where they're going to go because they have to be aware because I am not convinced that the schools are hard enough targets.
00:03:51.160 Well, Tom, let me just say this.
00:03:52.160 I want you to watch this here.
00:03:53.800 So here's the president, Rob, if I'm not mistaken, asked, what do you know about what happened?
00:04:00.740 Look at her answer, Rob.
00:04:02.540 Basic questions that they're asking.
00:04:04.220 President, this is asking the president six hours after the shooting, what do you know what was going on in the classroom?
00:04:10.340 What class was it?
00:04:11.400 Listen to her answer.
00:04:12.260 Go ahead, Rob.
00:04:14.420 President, with all due respect, six hours after the shooting and you said you don't know what was going on in that classroom?
00:04:20.800 How does that happen?
00:04:22.180 Were they taking an exam?
00:04:23.760 Were they reading for a club?
00:04:25.620 I don't know.
00:04:26.300 How?
00:04:26.800 I don't know.
00:04:27.080 Six hours later.
00:04:27.860 What's the first question you ask?
00:04:29.220 What were they doing in there?
00:04:31.340 What is the first question?
00:04:33.060 Because actually, there's a shooting.
00:04:35.420 Tom, I'm the president.
00:04:36.980 You're the president.
00:04:38.220 I come to you.
00:04:39.260 Tom, you won't believe what just happened.
00:04:40.840 You say what?
00:04:41.520 What?
00:04:42.240 There was a shooting in one of the classrooms.
00:04:44.760 Go.
00:04:45.580 Okay, I'll give you my questions.
00:04:46.940 Are we locked down?
00:04:47.900 Is local law enforcement here with our security?
00:04:51.620 Not yet.
00:04:51.700 They're on their way.
00:04:52.360 Are we locked down?
00:04:53.660 Okay.
00:04:54.480 It says, have we sent out the campus sirens or the campus alarms telling it's a lockdown?
00:05:01.100 Good.
00:05:01.760 Okay.
00:05:02.120 How many are in that class?
00:05:03.380 Do we have the information for the authorities when SWAT arrives?
00:05:05.880 Is SWAT on scene?
00:05:07.240 Do we have somebody?
00:05:07.680 They're on their way.
00:05:08.500 They're on their way.
00:05:09.440 Who is talking to SWAT right now about who's in that classroom?
00:05:13.020 How many students are supposed to be in that classroom and the rest of the building?
00:05:15.940 Who is there that we can give all this information to SWAT?
00:05:18.360 Are campus police ready?
00:05:20.000 What have we found on the camera?
00:05:21.380 What have we seen on the camera?
00:05:22.720 What do we have?
00:05:23.380 That's where they end.
00:05:23.780 What do we get on the parents?
00:05:24.380 Which teacher is it?
00:05:25.340 What professor is it?
00:05:26.080 That's exactly right.
00:05:27.000 What class was this?
00:05:28.000 Religious studies.
00:05:28.940 Oh, God.
00:05:29.300 Six hours later?
00:05:30.760 Six hours.
00:05:31.480 I am going to know all that, and I'm going to go to the microphone, and I'm going to praise
00:05:36.180 my campus if it's for readiness.
00:05:38.320 I'm going to thank the law enforcement, and I'm going to tell the news media, for the news
00:05:42.680 media, the class was this.
00:05:44.540 There was normally approximately 20 in class.
00:05:47.040 You know, in college, students can be in class or not.
00:05:49.800 There's usually approximately 20, a professor and an assistant professor.
00:05:53.780 We're trying to confirm the names of the people that were present to make their, but
00:05:57.640 we are on campus lockdown at six minutes after the first shot.
00:06:01.320 Sirens were off.
00:06:02.060 We were on campus lockdown.
00:06:03.440 What other questions do you have?
00:06:04.680 That's how I'm the president briefing the media after to show that all of our systems, it's
00:06:12.040 not put on a show, Pat.
00:06:13.500 It's to show that the systems and the training for such an incident are ready and work.
00:06:19.380 If your kid is in Brown University, get them out immediately.
00:06:23.520 816 cameras, $71,000 average tuition a year.
00:06:28.140 And that's the answer that you get from the person that's the president.
00:06:30.960 Listen, six hours, you understand how far, Pat, that's driving to Orlando and half the
00:06:35.560 way back, okay?
00:06:36.780 And this is another problem that I have with these morons, okay?
00:06:40.260 Ben, I think it was, what was his name?
00:06:41.920 Ben Erickson, okay?
00:06:43.640 You detain the wrong guy.
00:06:45.440 You leak his name to the entire world, all right?
00:06:47.900 You smear his service because he's in the army.
00:06:50.320 And then you go like this, oh, my bad, not him.
00:06:53.280 That guy's life is ruined, by the way, because the idiots out there are still going to think
00:06:57.960 it's him, because a lot of people don't follow the news like how we follow it.
00:07:01.420 23 miles south of the college.
00:07:04.300 Yeah, apparently he drove from Wisconsin to go do the shooting here.
00:07:08.680 And what's something that's weird, and listen, every single time they don't show us who it
00:07:12.960 is or they have nothing, it's because they don't want us to know who it is.
00:07:16.660 Allegedly, he screamed something before he did the shooting.
00:07:19.640 What do you guys think he screamed?
00:07:20.980 What do you think he screamed?
00:07:21.740 Jesus loves us?
00:07:23.720 Let's take a, if anybody wants to do a side bet, what do you think this guy screamed
00:07:27.520 before he did the shooting and then left?
00:07:29.360 And then the FBI shows this and go, hey, guys, we need, anybody have information about this?
00:07:33.460 Oh, you mean a blurry guy in a hoodie walking away from the camera?
00:07:35.880 Yeah, I've seen a million of those in cold-ass Brown University, okay?
00:07:40.700 It's unbelievable that they would just jump the gun on something like this.
00:07:43.860 It's one of the biggest fumbles.
00:07:45.040 And now this guy has had an entire day to get away, get his cover, take his own life,
00:07:51.520 whatever the hell it is.
00:07:52.720 And this is, Rob, what are you about to show?
00:07:55.360 This is a teacher assistant that was inside one of the classrooms when the shooting broke
00:07:59.260 out, if you guys want to hear firsthand account.
00:08:01.220 Yeah, why not?
00:08:02.020 What it was like inside?
00:08:03.460 Joseph Aduro was leading an economic study session with around 60 other students when he
00:08:08.420 says a masked man entered the lecture hall armed with a large gun.
00:08:12.080 He entered the room, and you could just see the panic in all the students' eyes.
00:08:17.080 I was standing in the front, so as soon as he walked in, he immediately saw me and I immediately
00:08:21.840 saw him.
00:08:23.380 And then I looked to my right and I see a bunch of students running down the stairs, running
00:08:28.800 out the door, jumping on the ground, just whatever, whatever it takes to stay alive.
00:08:34.180 When you made eye contact with him, what did your mind tell you in terms of what was happening
00:08:40.960 in that moment?
00:08:41.620 When I saw him, I saw a gun.
00:08:44.520 The gun was so big and long that I genuinely thought, like, okay, this is the end of the
00:08:50.860 road for me.
00:08:51.700 How soon did he start shooting after he entered the room?
00:08:55.000 He just started shooting right away.
00:08:56.820 There was no hesitation.
00:08:58.620 Did you see the video of the cops coming in?
00:09:00.860 Did you see the video of a SWAT coming in?
00:09:03.000 No, I haven't.
00:09:03.380 Get down, get down, hands up, get down, get down.
00:09:05.160 Have you seen that clip?
00:09:06.260 In the classroom?
00:09:07.000 In the classroom.
00:09:07.360 Kids are in the classroom, I think.
00:09:08.340 Yeah, there's a video of them coming in and you see they themselves.
00:09:14.220 That's the one, Rob.
00:09:15.000 That's the one.
00:09:15.580 You want to play that?
00:09:16.960 Watch this.
00:09:17.500 Oh my God, your kids are there.
00:09:25.640 Who is it?
00:09:26.360 Who's coming in?
00:09:27.980 Thank God.
00:09:28.820 Everybody get your hands.
00:09:40.740 Hands, hands, hands.
00:09:43.160 Just keep your hands up for us.
00:09:45.520 Obviously, there's something going on.
00:09:46.740 We're here to help you.
00:09:47.380 Just listen to what we have to say, okay?
00:09:49.480 All right, breathe.
00:09:50.240 Anybody hurt?
00:09:51.580 No?
00:09:51.940 All right, just listen to our commands.
00:09:53.700 We will get you out of here safely.
00:09:54.960 How much longer after the incident did they arrive, Rob?
00:10:03.040 How much longer after the incident did they arrive?
00:10:05.700 I'll take a look right now.
00:10:06.880 And those kids, those kids, you're not only, they're traumatized forever, okay?
00:10:11.540 Watching everybody get shot and killed.
00:10:14.400 Could you imagine, Tom, you have a daughter in college.
00:10:19.560 Can you imagine that, like, that's their school?
00:10:22.060 And I'm sick and tired of people, again, over the guns and the guns.
00:10:25.740 And why?
00:10:26.420 What do we do?
00:10:27.260 How about some legitimate security at the colleges, at the high schools?
00:10:32.000 And if one more person says, who's going to pay for it?
00:10:35.180 We just gave another $600 million that nobody wants to talk about to Ukraine.
00:10:40.360 Give me a effing break.
00:10:42.520 Enough already.
00:10:44.040 And stop with the guns.
00:10:45.500 People are going to find other ways.
00:10:46.960 We need security in the freaking schools, okay?
00:10:50.160 Everybody just wants to talk about the aftermath, but nobody wants to stop it from happening.
00:10:54.300 Guys, this is America.
00:10:55.480 We have guns.
00:10:56.820 34%, what, 35% of us have guns.
00:10:59.440 In Australia, 3%.
00:11:01.000 You have to fight fire with fire.
00:11:03.320 Gun-free zones are where people go and shoot.
00:11:05.600 You know why?
00:11:06.460 Nobody has a gun.
00:11:08.320 You might as well say, come and shoot everybody here, guys, because we don't like guns here.
00:11:13.060 And this is Brown University, bro.
00:11:14.840 Enough already.
00:11:15.800 Go ahead, Rob.
00:11:16.060 I'm with you.
00:11:16.800 Go ahead, Rob.
00:11:17.500 Pat, to your question, 4.05 p.m., the shooting started.
00:11:20.900 The first campus alert was sent 17 minutes after the shooting began.
00:11:26.340 That's what I'm looking at here.
00:11:27.360 That's not even the police responding.
00:11:28.840 That's them letting everybody on campus know.
00:11:31.140 Are you kidding me?
00:11:32.180 17 minutes?
00:11:33.160 Yeah.
00:11:33.480 How is that possible, though?
00:11:35.620 How is it possible to move so slowly?
00:11:38.140 And by the way, you said 20 minutes was Australia.
00:11:41.080 Yes.
00:11:41.780 And this is 17 minutes here?
00:11:43.460 Yep.
00:11:43.680 Okay, Rob, to the emergency service, Australia, about 10 minutes after the call, video analysis
00:11:51.140 and get police officers appear on the scene roughly within the first several minutes of
00:11:54.940 the shooting and began engaging the attackers about three to four minutes into the gunfire.
00:11:59.240 Shooting begins in emergency 647 and a Brown University.
00:12:03.480 Yeah, wow.
00:12:04.300 You're paying 71 grand for your kid to go to college for one year?
00:12:07.700 Can you pull up the president?
00:12:09.100 Can we look at the profile, the resume of the president of Brown University?
00:12:12.100 I want to know what her background is.
00:12:14.180 How the hell do you lack that kind of urgency?
00:12:16.060 Zoom in a little bit.
00:12:17.380 What is her background?
00:12:18.380 $3 million a year, by the way.
00:12:20.040 Did you say she makes $3 million a year?
00:12:22.960 The report that I read said the Brown University president makes $3 million a year.
00:12:27.500 She spent her childhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Paxson, Bachelor of Arts from Columbia College,
00:12:31.140 where she majored economics, Vengeance, member of the Fabrican Institute,
00:12:33.880 pursuing graduate studies at Columbia University.
00:12:36.100 Paxson transferred from there to grad, okay, got it, 1985, Master's of Arts,
00:12:41.880 and a doctor in philosophy and economics in 1985 with a focus on labor.
00:12:46.740 She advised Joseph Altonji on her desertion.
00:12:50.160 I was like, guys, we can recredit.
00:12:51.820 Kay Paxson, go a little bit lower.
00:12:53.300 Woodrow Wilson School of Pennsylvania.
00:12:56.840 Is her salary really $3 million a year?
00:13:00.400 Go a little bit lower.
00:13:01.120 Let's go find that.
00:13:02.060 And she was president in July of 2012,
00:13:06.120 which means that she's been president for 13 years,
00:13:09.020 covering BLM riots and everything else.
00:13:11.480 So you would think that she's been through some situations
00:13:14.240 where we realize that we have to harden the targets.
00:13:19.340 17 minutes, folks.
00:13:20.320 Can you see 17 minutes?
00:13:22.320 That's urgency.
00:13:23.360 Six hours later, she didn't even know what class it was.
00:13:25.580 Oh, my.
00:13:26.220 Who was it?
00:13:26.840 Obviously, you know, urgency is not the top priority when hiring.
00:13:32.120 Oh, man.
00:13:33.560 Their endowment, you know how much money they're sitting on their endowment?
00:13:36.300 $8 billion is the endowment.
00:13:40.000 That's how much cash the school is sitting on.
00:13:41.500 $8 billion.
00:13:43.060 Cash is how much you're sitting on.
00:13:44.420 Yes, she got paid over $3.1 million in 2023.
00:13:47.700 Weird.
00:13:48.240 I don't know if it's strictly from the school or not.
00:13:50.660 So, Adam, where are you at with this?
00:13:52.100 So they're paying $70,000 a year to go to school here,
00:13:54.700 but many students will end up paying with their life.
00:13:58.280 So how many times does this need to happen until we say, hmm, there might be a bigger problem here.
00:14:04.620 I used to be, you know, sort of anti-gun.
00:14:06.920 No way.
00:14:07.300 There's just the guns.
00:14:08.380 We got to take away the shit.
00:14:10.220 No.
00:14:10.540 Because if we learned anything in Australia, if we learned anything what's going on in Iran,
00:14:14.620 if we learned what's going on in China, if you don't have guns, you don't get to say shit.
00:14:19.180 So the guns protect you from the bad guys.
00:14:22.660 And by the way, even if you take away all the guns, have we not learned that the bad guys are going to get their hands on the guns?
00:14:29.860 Did we not just learn that in Sydney?
00:14:32.080 Have we not learned this so many times, countless times, the bad guys will get the guns?
00:14:37.320 So, you know, you talk about the book, The Anxious Generation, right?
00:14:40.800 We talk about social media and comparison and everything like that.
00:14:44.460 Anxious Generation, I can't even imagine going to school.
00:14:47.900 Okay, guys, get ready for finals.
00:14:49.960 Here we go.
00:14:50.940 And a terrorist, who knows who it was, just comes in and starts shooting up at school.
00:14:57.160 This is so common for schools these days.
00:15:00.080 This is not stuff we had to deal with when we were growing up.
00:15:02.800 You talk about Anxious Generation.
00:15:04.160 When we were in the 90s, everyone was worried about AIDS.
00:15:09.060 They completely blew AIDS out of proportion.
00:15:13.040 Oh, my God, you have AIDS.
00:15:14.260 Oh, my God.
00:15:15.020 This is not blown out of proportion.
00:15:17.080 This is an epidemic to the largest magnitude where you're supposed to have kids going to school to learn, to be educated, to be safe, to be secure.
00:15:26.440 And they end up paying with their life.
00:15:28.960 This is the new reality in America today.
00:15:31.540 So, Anxious Generation, this is par for the course, unfortunately, in America.
00:15:36.760 And it's so predictable.
00:15:38.660 When has this happened before?
00:15:40.120 Every other week, if not longer.
00:15:43.000 So, schools and universities really need to do better.
00:15:45.980 What was the story that took four years for us to find out who was behind it?
00:15:49.620 We talked about it two weeks ago.
00:15:51.740 And for four years, everybody thought.
00:15:53.020 The pipe bomb?
00:15:53.800 Yeah, the pipe bomb.
00:15:54.980 Yeah.
00:15:55.300 Which, by the way, they still, there's people still trying to say, because this person sat down on a bench, Pat, and they did what a woman would do.
00:16:04.040 I'm just saying, that has a bra on.
00:16:06.080 So, this person that they're saying, it's still, like, up in the air.
00:16:09.200 We don't even know who this freaking guy was.
00:16:10.880 But, yeah.
00:16:11.260 Four.
00:16:11.780 Oh, wait.
00:16:12.240 What do you mean?
00:16:13.060 Four years?
00:16:13.400 Yeah.
00:16:13.520 Almost five years.
00:16:14.720 Yeah.
00:16:14.900 Five years.
00:16:15.640 To find out.
00:16:17.000 Circumstantially, it points to the woman that worked for the intelligence agency.
00:16:19.740 Yeah.
00:16:19.760 Pat, look at this.
00:16:20.620 What are you fixing under there?
00:16:21.820 That's your bra?
00:16:22.460 Oh, okay.
00:16:23.420 Regarding the Brown University, what do we know for sure?
00:16:26.980 We don't know.
00:16:27.480 Adam, they don't know.
00:16:28.620 Think about it.
00:16:29.240 They put all their attention on the white boy from Wisconsin and nothing.
00:16:33.520 They have the guy that did the interview, the black guy, saying, I saw his face.
00:16:38.060 Did they ask him what he looked like, what he said?
00:16:39.720 Did he say what he looked like?
00:16:40.420 You would hope so.
00:16:41.900 Exactly.
00:16:42.460 That would have been the first question is, hey, is this the guy?
00:16:44.900 Is this the white boy?
00:16:45.660 No.
00:16:45.980 Next.
00:16:46.600 I think we know how the media plays the game.
00:16:50.740 You know, George Zimmerman was a white Hispanic.
00:16:52.820 And if there's no race mentioned, then you know the race.
00:16:56.220 How many Jewish students are at Brown?
00:16:57.620 Can we just take a while?
00:16:58.620 I don't know.
00:16:59.420 Is it a predominantly Jewish school, Rob?
00:17:01.320 No.
00:17:01.580 Do we know?
00:17:02.080 There's no predominantly Jewish school unless it's Yeshiva.
00:17:04.700 No, but what I'm saying is.
00:17:06.080 Brown is known as the single most liberal of the Ivy League gate.
00:17:10.480 Hands down.
00:17:11.320 Brown.
00:17:11.820 Oh, hands down.
00:17:12.400 Oh, really?
00:17:12.940 Brown is the most liberal?
00:17:14.060 Most liberal.
00:17:14.980 The most.
00:17:15.360 More than Harvard?
00:17:16.820 Oh, and it's not even close.
00:17:18.260 Because Harvard will get conservatives.
00:17:21.120 Brown is like, you go to Brown to say, I went to Brown.
00:17:24.500 Fight the power.
00:17:25.540 Oh, really?
00:17:26.060 Brown is like the place to go.
00:17:28.480 Interesting.
00:17:29.260 Yeah, but Brown.
00:17:30.660 Oh, so it's white, white, 32 to 36.
00:17:32.840 We might get sued by a shipping company, but the marketing is, how can Brown indoctrinate
00:17:37.680 you?
00:17:38.140 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:17:38.860 Yeah.
00:17:39.120 Okay.
00:17:39.800 I mean, you guys as parents, right?
00:17:42.920 Tom, you have one in college, one in high school.
00:17:46.660 Mm-hmm.
00:17:46.920 You have four kids, all under 13?
00:17:50.940 Well, my youngest daughter and his oldest son are in that contemplation window right now.
00:17:55.280 How concerned are you sending your kids to school?
00:17:57.040 I mean, is this...
00:17:57.720 Did you hear what he just said?
00:17:58.920 Go ahead, Tom.
00:17:59.500 I said his oldest son and my youngest daughter are like 10 months apart, and they're both
00:18:04.240 right now in what's called, you know, the review and contemplation window.
00:18:07.440 This is a question as families we're asking ourselves right now.
00:18:11.000 Regardless of the fact that my oldest is in college, every candidate, university that's
00:18:16.200 on our list, look what's on our minds.
00:18:18.200 Yeah, but it's not even just universities.
00:18:19.500 It's happening in elementary schools.
00:18:20.840 It's happening in high schools.
00:18:21.860 I mean, how do you look your kid in the school and say, have a good day at school, son.
00:18:25.700 Have a good day at school, daughter.
00:18:27.520 And they might not make it home.
00:18:29.520 And when I was in LA, every Jewish school that I saw, dude, there was a security guard
00:18:36.020 and a cop outside.
00:18:38.200 Everywhere.
00:18:39.160 No, no.
00:18:39.480 This is at Los Angeles.
00:18:40.760 Everywhere, bro.
00:18:41.480 But all the other schools, public, no, Catholic, public, nope, nope.
00:18:45.540 Not even a guard, bro.
00:18:46.600 Put a guard out there.
00:18:47.940 With that being said, guys, exciting news here on what happened.
00:18:51.620 I got a report this morning.
00:18:52.700 Let me tell you what this report is.
00:18:54.460 Do you not got the report this morning because of Christmas shopping?
00:18:56.720 We've been doing a lot of Christmas shopping ourselves.
00:18:58.760 My son's got the longest Christmas shopping list he's ever had.
00:19:02.860 Dylan?
00:19:03.360 Oh, my God.
00:19:04.100 And by the way, so many of the items are old dinosaur, what do you call it?
00:19:09.140 Like, he's all into dinosaur, dinosaur Legos that we got to go try to find.
00:19:13.180 I'm not, we got to go find.
00:19:14.360 We got to tell Santa to go find.
00:19:15.540 Of course.
00:19:15.980 And he's been doing a lot of stuff.
00:19:16.780 Also, Christmas shopping, you know what this is?
00:19:19.800 Since the vault till today, I've only not worn these three days.
00:19:24.740 Every day I've worn these.
00:19:26.000 And you know why this is a special week?
00:19:27.600 Because the white and the Navy are officially here being shipped out this week.
00:19:32.880 They're being shipped out this week.
00:19:34.380 So, I want to give you a report that I got this morning on how many countries have ordered these shoes.
00:19:42.760 You ready?
00:19:43.640 In order, okay, of orders.
00:19:46.000 Of who's ordered the most.
00:19:47.280 Obviously, U.S. is number one.
00:19:49.080 Number two is Canada.
00:19:50.160 Surprisingly, Canada's number two.
00:19:52.040 I have to look to see if Pierre won it or not because I don't know if he believes he looks right.
00:19:55.180 I hope he did.
00:19:56.660 Australia, 23.
00:19:58.280 Interesting.
00:19:59.140 Australia's diehard fans of the podcast, by the way.
00:20:01.100 Australia, 3X UK, okay?
00:20:04.700 Damn.
00:20:05.120 Then you got Slovenia.
00:20:06.200 Then you got UAE.
00:20:08.040 UAE makes it in the top six of people wearing the shoe.
00:20:11.100 Do you know who's next?
00:20:12.180 Saudi Arabia.
00:20:13.540 Then it's Malaysia, Poland, Croatia, Bulgaria.
00:20:16.760 Then it's Switzerland, Ireland, Czech, Oman, Norway.
00:20:19.780 And guess who's last?
00:20:20.620 Oman.
00:20:21.140 Little old Oman.
00:20:21.980 Israel is last.
00:20:23.040 They did buy, though, but they're last.
00:20:25.440 So, somebody there said I'm on.
00:20:26.440 But they get a good discount, yes.
00:20:27.860 No, no discount for the shoes.
00:20:28.920 But guess what?
00:20:29.560 But to everybody that's watching this, I love the amount of people that are wearing their shoes.
00:20:33.560 Some interesting people are wearing their shoes and wearing them.
00:20:35.860 I'm in love with them.
00:20:36.860 But for Christmas, folks, Rob, if you can go on to VT Merch, I want to show you guys a shirt for Christmas, especially those of you guys that watch it.

00:21:19.580 But we got a few left.
