00:00:00.000 About a week ago, we showed a video where Vinny reacted to a video that was where Andrew Colvitt and his partner said, we are trolling the trolls, and we thought it was a fake video.
00:00:15.880 Folks from TPUSA, I won't give names, they reached out to me and they said, hey, that was a real video.
00:00:21.880 That's actually what Charlie Kirk said.
00:00:23.320 And I spoke to the gentleman who set up his estate planning, Doug, who I mentioned him before.
00:00:29.840 And, you know, he says, Pat, this is what he wanted.
00:00:32.540 He wanted Erica to run the organization afterwards.
00:00:35.760 And the controversy was over this video.
00:00:37.160 And the video I'm going to come to you because you guys had a 45-minute call.
00:00:39.560 Go ahead, guys.
00:00:41.100 The most important relationship in your life is the one that you have with your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
00:00:47.180 His passion was my passion, and now his mission is my mission.
00:00:50.540 I appoint my wife to run Turning Point USA if something happens to me.
00:00:54.460 Erica would do a great job.
00:00:56.320 Okay, Vinny, you had a call with Andrew.
00:00:58.260 So I talked to Andrew.
00:00:59.080 Mind you, Pat, I think we met him in passing at one of the TPUSA events.
00:01:03.000 Adam hooked it up where I got back from, where were we, Washington?
00:01:06.400 We were in D.C.
00:01:06.960 And I spoke with him for 45 minutes.
00:01:09.200 You ever just see somebody on TV or on videos?
00:01:14.500 Everybody has their assumptions in their head.
00:01:16.320 But then you speak with them.
00:01:17.240 you're like oh okay now i know exactly who you are as a as a as a human being pat 45 minutes i
00:01:23.360 mean we could have gone for a freaking for a two-hour conversation he explained that that
00:01:27.160 video that they put together it wasn't that it wasn't ai but on x somebody put you know people
00:01:33.480 can community know if they're on a certain side he had to go in and he had to get the community
00:01:38.500 note lifted because it wasn't ai so he explained the whole situation to me and it was not what i
00:01:45.000 thought it was and i commented on it because that's what i thought was was happening but the
00:01:49.160 45 minute conversation pat it's as if he i don't want to get into the the nitty-gritty of the
00:01:54.460 conversation but if people out there if you don't think that andrew cove is genuinely concerned and
00:02:01.300 worried pat he has so many more questions about everything that happened with the shooter with
00:02:05.400 um what's tyler robinson's his name it was such a good conversation and i i never judged him or
00:02:11.980 thought anything of him different but having spoken with him and clarifying the situation
00:02:16.220 i was wrong because i what i saw that grok said right boom ai somebody they can go on grok and
00:02:24.660 people could keep community noting patent even if it's not real he had to go on and fix it so
00:02:29.140 i was in the wrong and um yeah he's actually really really uh a good dude talking to andrew
00:02:34.860 very very good dude that's a stand-up dude yeah so there you have it with that video it's interesting
00:02:39.000 Because when we were on a flight to UFC White House, we had one of our lawyer friends with us on the flight there.
00:02:46.520 And he says one of the things people are doing now is at the top, you can run audits to see what bots are attacking you from where, funded by whom.
00:02:58.440 Imagine that research to have.
00:03:01.520 So let me say it one more time.
00:03:02.460 Imagine if you could run a research to know who is attacking you with fake bots
00:03:09.580 and who is paying for it.
00:03:11.040 How valuable would that be?
00:03:12.000 Oh, big time.
00:03:12.600 You know who's the one guy that knows all of those because he owns the company?
00:03:17.720 It's a guy named Elon Musk.
00:03:19.340 So guess what person knows who's attacking who and destroying who?
00:03:24.420 Elon Musk and his team.
00:03:25.960 He can literally say, can you run a report why this guy is being attacked by such and such?
00:03:30.420 Oh, follow the money?
00:03:31.480 So Elon knows everybody's dirt that applies to Twitter.
00:03:39.700 What is the easiest place to defame somebody?
00:03:42.860 Out of all the platforms, what is the easiest place to defame somebody?
00:03:46.340 X.
00:03:46.880 It's very easy to defame somebody at X.
00:03:49.340 And what is the one platform that can confuse the most people and gaslight the most people?
00:03:53.700 It's X.
00:03:54.220 X is the place because a lot of people are getting their news from X.
00:03:56.680 So anyways, it's interesting when that happens as you go through it.
00:04:01.200 But I'm glad, Vinny, you had a call with him, and I'm glad you were manning up with it.
00:04:05.120 Every once in a while, we're going to get things that are, you know, wrong,
00:04:08.380 and we're going to man up and talk about it and go from there.
00:04:10.900 You know what's around the corner?
00:04:12.520 What is around the corner?
00:04:13.920 What are we today?
00:04:14.720 Today's the 22nd.
00:04:16.820 Fourth of July is how many days away?
00:04:19.920 Roughly 15, 16 days away from Fourth of July.
00:04:22.840 Okay?
00:04:23.680 So here's what we did.
00:04:24.880 The guys put a video together.
00:04:26.400 I hope the guys are on the back already.
00:04:27.760 we have flirted with this video and shown it to you for six months but we've never released that
00:04:34.600 we kept the best one for last and i'm going to tell you why this will go and be on ebay
00:04:39.560 in no time because we have a 250 year anniversary box that's here with some special items in it and
00:04:48.140 specifically the hat it's the hat that employees came to us and said please don't sell it all
00:04:53.980 Let us have some of it, but I first want you to watch this video, especially the people that love America.
00:04:59.500 Go ahead, guys.
00:05:00.680 Before there was a nation, God bless America.
00:05:03.640 There was an idea, an idea powerful enough to ignite a revolution.
00:05:09.860 America has marched through history with courage in its heart and freedom as its cause.
00:05:17.020 We crossed frontiers.
00:05:19.220 We built railroads that united a continent.
00:05:21.800 We rose from the ashes of conflict.
00:05:25.920 We defended liberty across oceans.
00:05:29.420 And we reached beyond Earth itself, planting our flag among the stars.
00:05:36.240 Through every trial, one spirit endured.
00:05:40.420 A spirit to dream bigger.
00:05:43.060 To stand stronger.
00:05:45.320 To keep moving forward.
00:05:46.900 For 250 years, generations of Americans have written a story of sacrifice, innovation,
00:05:55.900 resilience and hope.
00:05:57.900 And now, the next chapter begins.
00:06:01.900 This is America.
00:06:04.900 250 years of freedom.
00:06:08.900 250 years of courage.
00:06:12.900 250 years of a nation still rising.
00:06:17.880 I'll join the military right now.
00:06:19.180 It ain't great.
00:06:19.860 Don't you just.
00:06:20.860 Aren't you proud you served the military?
00:06:22.740 One of the best decisions I made.
00:06:24.800 Absolutely.
00:06:25.460 So go to VT Merch dot com.
00:06:27.360 Only limited 250 boxes.
00:06:31.400 When you go there, it comes with a shirt that says the greatest country in the world.
00:06:35.940 On the box, it says 250 years of freedom.
00:06:38.940 Future looks bright.
00:06:40.020 When you open it up, you get a Future Looks Bride mug.
00:06:43.020 You get these hats that there's only a limited supply of them.
00:06:47.160 And then you get this water mug.
00:06:49.040 What do you call these things?
00:06:51.100 What's it called?
00:06:52.940 250-year anniversary on it as well.
00:06:54.780 It says, and God we trust.
00:06:56.000 And on the back it says, the greatest country in the world.
00:06:58.640 But it's only for 250 of them.
00:07:00.200 So if you want to buy the hat by itself, you have the option to do that.
