Transcript

00:00:00.000 Vinny, as of right now, what's been shown is the text exchange between the shooter and his roommate, the transgender roommate that he has, right?
00:00:11.340 Yes.
00:00:11.760 And a lot of people are a little bit suspicious, saying, wait a minute, they're texting each other like this?
00:00:17.960 Yes.
00:00:18.260 But let me read it to you.
00:00:19.560 Can you zoom in a little bit, Rob?
00:00:22.540 Robinson.
00:00:22.980 This is, I am still okay, my love, but I'm stuck in Orem for a little while longer yet, shouldn't be long until I come home, but I got to grab my rifle still.
00:00:34.020 To be honest, I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age.
00:00:38.320 I am sorry to involve you, roommate.
00:00:40.400 You weren't the one who did it, right?
00:00:42.580 Robinson, I am.
00:00:43.980 I'm sorry.
00:00:44.880 Roommate.
00:00:45.660 I thought they caught the person.
00:00:47.780 Robinson, no, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing.
00:00:53.680 I had planned to grab my rifle from the drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down.
00:01:00.800 It's quite almost enough to get out, but there's one vehicle lingering.
00:01:05.840 Roommate.
00:01:06.400 Why?
00:01:07.200 Why did I do it?
00:01:08.640 Yeah.
00:01:09.320 I had enough of his hatred.
00:01:11.320 Some hate can't be negotiated out.
00:01:14.060 If I'm able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence, going to attempt to retrieve it again.
00:01:21.860 Hopefully they have moved on.
00:01:23.500 I haven't seen anything about them finding it.
00:01:25.720 Roommate.
00:01:26.380 How long have you been planning this?
00:01:28.020 A bit over a week, I believe.
00:01:30.020 I can get close to it, but there's a squad car parked right by it.
00:01:34.540 I think they already swept that spot, but I don't want to chance it.
00:01:38.300 Robinson.
00:01:39.200 I'm wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got back to my vehicle.
00:01:44.120 I'm worried what my old man would do if I didn't bring back grandpa's rifle.
00:01:51.080 IDEK.
00:01:51.940 I don't know what that is.
00:01:52.820 I don't even know.
00:01:53.440 I don't even know if it had a serial number, but it wouldn't trace to me.
00:01:57.380 I worry about prints.
00:01:58.800 I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits.
00:02:02.300 Didn't have the ability or time to bring it with.
00:02:04.420 I might have to abandon it and hope they don't find prints.
00:02:08.580 How the F will I explain losing it to my old man?
00:02:12.020 The only thing I left was the rifle wrapped in a towel.
00:02:15.240 Remember how I was engraving bullets?
00:02:17.400 The effing messages are mostly a big meme.
00:02:19.700 If I see, notice, bulge, you woo on Fox News, I might have a stroke.
00:02:27.060 All right, I'm going to have to leave it.
00:02:29.080 That really effing sucks.
00:02:30.460 Eric.
00:02:30.960 Bulge, you, WU is the reference to the trans community.
00:02:35.060 So, Patrick, you just read through that.
00:02:39.020 Here's my theory on this.
00:02:40.240 This looks like an admission of motive, admission, the steps.
00:02:45.820 It's a closed case.
00:02:48.200 All I have to do is bring this up.
00:02:49.580 Interesting.
00:02:49.840 It's so well choreographed that the roommate doesn't play along.
00:02:55.340 Kind of pulls, even pulls at one point.
00:02:58.000 How long have you been planning this?
00:03:00.160 Weird.
00:03:00.620 Smart.
00:03:00.900 Very weird question, right?
00:03:02.360 Weird.
00:03:02.540 It feels like this was a script.
00:03:04.540 Yeah.
00:03:04.940 They put it out there that nails it.
00:03:07.120 Who's they?
00:03:08.100 The cabal that I believe is behind the assassination of Charlie Kirk and probably looking to take
00:03:13.760 out, to change, to alter history by taking out kingpins of conservative thought.
00:03:19.180 Question for you, Eric.
00:03:20.040 I'm looking at this, and I've learned the hard way, don't just look at the exact thing.
00:03:26.460 Don't be naive.
00:03:27.240 There could be other extenuating circumstances.
00:03:30.180 Are you saying, based on this conversation, that this conversation is not even real?
00:03:34.640 It's fabricated?
00:03:35.280 It looks to me, honestly, like it's a perfectly choreographed script to nail Tyler Robinson to
00:03:42.380 this crime, and only Tyler Robinson.
00:03:44.920 Not even the roommate, who is supposed to be a lover, and this is why Tyler Robinson killed
00:03:49.700 Charlie Kirk.
00:03:50.400 He couldn't stand the hatred that Charlie Kirk had for trans community, like his new boyfriend,
00:03:56.220 girlfriend, whatever the hell he is.
00:03:58.060 And not even implicate that person.
00:04:01.180 What are the chances?
00:04:02.300 What are the chances?
00:04:03.280 I'm not being naive.
00:04:04.340 What are the chances?
00:04:05.120 It was literally just this kid, Tyler Robinson, that's been radicalized, been upset.
00:04:10.380 He's texting his love.
00:04:12.600 He's gay.
00:04:13.140 He's trans.
00:04:13.600 Whatever it is.
00:04:14.720 And he generally just did it himself.
00:04:16.300 He was a lone wolf.
00:04:17.240 Why didn't the lover just play along?
00:04:19.660 Honey, I feel so bad.
00:04:23.060 For me, it's approaching zero.
00:04:25.140 I mean, nothing's ever zero.
00:04:26.400 You know what I did?
00:04:27.540 As soon as I saw this yesterday, as soon as it hit the air, I went and put in chat GBT.
00:04:32.300 And chat GBT said, reading this, it feels more like something written than an actual text
00:04:37.300 thread.
00:04:37.740 Stop it.
00:04:38.020 I swear, I'm reading it from chat GBT right now.
00:04:41.140 The pacing, the length, the sentences, the way he explains every single detail as if he's
00:04:45.920 narrating a movie.
00:04:47.000 It doesn't match how people text when they're panicking or hiding after a crime.
00:04:51.200 How long does that change on?
00:04:52.540 Let me finish.
00:04:53.020 Real texts are usually short, sloppy, with abbreviations, not long monologues that sound
00:04:58.600 like a script.
00:04:59.360 So my gut, chat GBT's gut, it doesn't read like an authentic back and forth.
00:05:03.480 It reads more like a crafted effect.
00:05:05.040 So that's that.
00:05:06.120 But are you ready for this?
00:05:07.840 It makes, and trust me, they know me.
00:05:10.680 I'm, I'm, I never believe anybody, but it makes far more sense to think that these texts
00:05:16.460 weren't fabricated by the FBI or somebody, but that the shooter and his boyfriend had
00:05:21.860 a script.
00:05:22.700 They staged it and then they exchange it.
00:05:24.780 You know why?
00:05:25.360 You nailed it, Eric, to give the freaking lover boyfriend cover, cover, cover and focus
00:05:31.380 on, just take the rap, take the rap.
00:05:34.360 Patrick, they added premeditation when the lover says, how long have you been planning
00:05:40.520 this?
00:05:41.160 Where did that come from?
00:05:42.660 Is that a normal conversation between a guy who just blew away Charlie Kirk and his love?
00:05:47.880 How long have you been?
00:05:49.240 They got motive.
00:05:51.000 They got the actual pulling the trigger, the aim, the reason, and now they got premeditation
00:05:56.300 too.
00:05:56.540 Rob, you put it up there and what does it say to you?
00:05:58.040 I did.
00:05:58.440 I asked, chat GBT, analyze the script from these text messages.
00:06:01.460 Do they sound authentic?
00:06:02.620 And then I uploaded the text themselves.
00:06:04.800 It gives a pretty long-winded answer, but at the end, overall assessment, these messages
00:06:08.600 do not strongly resemble authentic brawl text exchanges.
00:06:12.640 It's not real.
00:06:13.160 They read more like a constructed script, possibly fabricated or heavily edited, that genuine,
00:06:19.220 spontaneous communication.
00:06:21.040 Wow.
00:06:21.600 So is this kid in custody, the trans boyfriend?
00:06:24.140 No, no.
00:06:24.980 They talked to the family.
00:06:25.760 They spoke to him.
00:06:26.560 They spoke to the family.
00:06:27.060 He's not in custody right now.
00:06:28.480 They questioned him.
00:06:29.500 He can't leave.
00:06:30.420 You know, it's one of those.
00:06:31.440 You just can't leave.
00:06:32.440 Yeah.
00:06:32.800 He won't.
00:06:33.600 I mean...
00:06:34.600 So if what you're saying is true, if what Chappie G is saying is true, that he's going
00:06:38.360 to be tried for accomplice to murder?
00:06:41.680 No, he's okay.
00:06:42.360 They're talking about death penalties, what they're talking about.
00:06:44.120 Oh, for Tyler.
00:06:44.860 Tyler's...
00:06:45.220 I'm not talking about Tyler.
00:06:45.760 I'm talking about...
00:06:46.760 You got to prove it.
00:06:47.480 The boyfriend.
00:06:48.080 Yeah, you got to prove it.
00:06:48.700 Because this exchange, this exchange in court will play out like, hey, my client...
00:06:52.520 This is when he got the death penalty?
00:06:53.820 This is when they announce that they're a guest.
00:06:55.820 Watch his reaction.
00:06:56.480 Is there a business that we need to address today, counsel?
00:07:00.360 Just for the court's information, we did file just recently within the last few minutes
00:07:04.400 a notice of intent to seek the death penalty.
00:07:06.520 That was filed by Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray.
00:07:11.420 So that should be in the court's file.
00:07:15.700 Wow.
00:07:16.660 No reaction.
00:07:17.280 Is this frozen?
00:07:18.020 Is this his...
00:07:18.520 No, that's him.
00:07:19.360 That's his actual reaction?
00:07:20.940 Yeah, you can see his eyes shift down right here.
00:07:24.460 His eyes shift down.
00:07:25.540 Go back again.
00:07:26.180 Go back 10 seconds.
00:07:27.220 Right there.
00:07:27.480 That's good, Rob.
00:07:28.960 Just recently, within the last few minutes, a notice of intent to seek the death penalty
00:07:33.000 that was filed by Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray.
00:07:37.580 So that should be in the court's file.
00:07:39.480 Yeah.
00:07:39.900 Wow.
00:07:42.000 So what...
00:07:42.880 Pat, where are you at with this?
00:07:44.900 Like, meaning...
00:07:45.840 I was just looking at the text.
00:07:47.280 On its surface, like, oh, wow.
00:07:49.140 No, I...
00:07:49.620 The trans boyfriend didn't know.
00:07:51.000 Yeah, right.
00:07:51.360 Now, apparently, there's some stuff going on.
00:07:54.560 Where are you at with this?
00:07:55.340 Eric said he's close to 0%.
00:07:56.800 It was a lone wolf.
00:07:57.480 Guys, the last time there was this type of dramatic exposure that was going to happen
00:08:04.100 was a guy named John F. Kennedy, where his father got his son in, and he was planning
00:08:07.100 on having guys in the White House for 20 years.
00:08:10.000 Joseph Kennedy had plans of this happening 40 years, 30 years before it happened.
00:08:14.980 The day his first son was born, Joseph was supposed to be the first president, and he ended up
00:08:20.060 dying at 22 years old in war as a pilot.
00:08:23.920 I don't know what age he was when he died, but it's 22, 23, 24.
00:08:27.140 Joseph Kennedy never became the same ever again after his oldest son died.
00:08:30.460 But then what happens?
00:08:31.200 The youngest son with lower back problems becomes president.
00:08:33.560 Then they have this vengeance, this fire in their belly.
00:08:38.580 Then the oldest becomes agey.
00:08:40.220 The oldest becomes a tough guy.
00:08:42.260 The establishment sits there and says these guys are able to change a lot of things for America,
00:08:46.140 and they're beloved.
00:08:48.100 There's so many memorials of John F. Kennedy around the world.
00:08:51.240 Not in America.
00:08:52.480 There's more statues of him around the world than any other president, I believe, all over the world.
00:08:57.240 He was loved by people around the world, John F. Kennedy was.
00:08:59.840 And then you see that they were going to make some changes, and you bring it to today.
00:09:04.960 Do I think this is accidental?
00:09:07.120 Guys, when the president got elected, I gave a top five name of people that I believe were the ones that helped him get elected.
00:09:16.900 Charlie Kirk.
00:09:18.120 I sent him a message.
00:09:19.360 I told him, I said, listen, I don't know if you realize this.
00:09:21.200 Without you, this doesn't happen.
00:09:22.140 He says, well, I'm not doing it for recognition.
00:09:23.440 I said, well, you need to take it because you played a massive role.
00:09:26.200 And in everything, when something big happens, you played a massive role.
00:09:29.620 I said, well, thank you for that.
00:09:31.260 But to me, when you're asking what's going on here, I don't know.
00:09:39.540 I don't know.
00:09:39.960 I think there's a pattern.
00:09:44.760 I don't think this is an accidental thing.
00:09:47.380 I think it's a pattern.
00:09:48.560 And this reminds me of the 60s.
00:09:54.900 This reminds me of the 60s.
00:09:56.880 In the Army, they say, watch your six.
00:09:58.340 They say, you know, stay alert, stay alive, right?
00:10:00.840 I think right now it's a – by the way, in Florida, it just became a license to carry.
00:10:05.280 Open carry.
00:10:05.980 Open carry.
00:10:06.720 Florida.
00:10:07.180 Just, by the way, two days ago.
00:10:08.600 Yep.
00:10:09.040 Oh, I thought we had that.
00:10:09.960 Two days ago.
00:10:10.940 You literally can go to the restaurant, put your gun down, and eat.
00:10:14.320 Is that what they have in Texas?
00:10:16.620 Idaho has it.
00:10:17.840 Open carry.
00:10:18.120 Open carry.
00:10:18.760 It's a few states that happen.
00:10:19.840 You can wear, like, a holster.
00:10:20.980 But Florida – and by the way, Rob just said something earlier.
00:10:23.240 Rob said if this would have happened in Florida, he would have already been killed.
00:10:26.720 Death sentence because he says Florida is leading all states with – how many did you say, Rob?
00:10:31.000 30-plus?
00:10:32.160 They're going to have 30 by the end of the year.
00:10:33.920 They're somewhere around 20-ish right now.
00:10:35.700 But more inmates have been executed on death row this year in Florida than any other state in the history of the United States of America.
00:10:45.500 Ron DeSantis for you.
00:10:46.220 Well, the biggest difference here – you're talking about the 60s, you're talking about JFK specifically – is –
00:10:52.960 This is a revolution, buddy.
00:10:54.760 Something's going on in America.
00:10:56.200 This is not a normal time we're living in.
00:10:58.180 They try to control us for COVID, and they lost.
00:11:02.480 But they lost on the public scale.
00:11:05.540 Everybody handles loss in a different way.
00:11:08.560 Some people can't handle a loss.
00:11:11.100 When they lost – and Obama – I'll never forget this.
00:11:14.440 When Obama got on stage, and he gave his speech, and he tried to lecture those young black men – remember that one time?
00:11:20.860 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:21.640 What are you doing?
00:11:22.660 And then Stephen A. and other people are like, dude, you don't talk to us like that.
00:11:25.260 What do you think we're dumb?
00:11:25.940 And then he lost – then imagine the Democratic Party is saying, who is our savior today?
00:11:34.400 Who can't go campaign for anybody and win?
00:11:37.580 You mean to tell me Obama couldn't campaign for Kamala, a black woman, California – you couldn't help her win?
00:11:45.240 Where are we now?
00:11:46.840 Where do we go from here now?
00:11:48.560 And then Obama has to sit there next to Trump.
00:11:51.380 I think it was at Carter's funeral, if I'm not mistaken.
00:11:55.180 And then they're laughing.
00:11:56.020 They're talking to each other.
00:11:57.200 Yeah, this was the moment.
00:11:58.480 So Democrats – this has been the – I said November 5th will go down as Barack Obama's worst day of his lifetime.
00:12:05.240 November 5th of 2024 is the worst day of Barack Obama's life.
00:12:09.400 So now what do you do?
00:12:11.600 You lost.
00:12:12.960 Democrats lost.
00:12:13.780 The establishment lost.
00:12:15.640 You think they're going to play fair?
00:12:16.740 I don't know.
00:12:17.100 No, and you know why?
00:12:18.900 Absolutely not.
00:12:20.320 Hold on.
00:12:21.120 We have just seen for the past 10 years, they're not going to play fair and square, Pat, because for 10 years, Eric, they've been like, Nazi, fascist, Hitler, death, all this, all this.
00:12:30.040 And now when the smoke is cleared and the dust is settled, they're like, oh, shit, we don't have any leaders.
00:12:36.220 Gavin Newsom?
00:12:37.540 Jasmine Crockett?
00:12:38.680 Because they have no voice.
00:12:39.940 They have no message.
00:12:41.200 So guess what?
00:12:41.800 They use lawfare to go after their opponents.
00:12:43.580 They wanted to destroy Trump, okay?
00:12:45.580 They'll do the law fail.
00:12:47.180 They'll try to cancel your ass.
00:12:48.520 And then guess what?
00:12:49.300 They try to shoot you.
00:12:50.180 Let's not forget, this same playbook happened with Trump.
00:12:54.800 Some white, lone guy, no freaking social media, gets shot.
00:12:59.220 They shoot him because the real shooter missed.
00:13:01.540 They clean up the scene.
00:13:02.740 His apartment's cleaned up with white gloves.
00:13:05.020 It's like, it's the same gameplay.
00:13:06.680 You nailed it.
00:13:07.320 It's the same playbook because they have nothing.
00:13:09.900 They are the party of violence.
00:13:11.760 They are the party.
00:13:12.620 Remember a couple weeks ago, I said the whole party's evil.
00:13:15.180 It's not evil.
00:13:16.000 But if the devil came back and he had to pick a party, which party would he pick?
00:13:19.420 Would he be a Republican or would he be a Democrat?
00:13:21.640 I'm being dead serious.
00:13:22.960 Where is he going to go?
00:13:24.080 Where is he going to lead?
00:13:24.760 Oh, you guys are killing people?
00:13:26.140 I'm going over here.
00:13:26.980 You guys are praying?
00:13:28.020 Because us as Christians, we get mad.
00:13:30.060 You know how furious I was with him in the back?
00:13:32.280 My anger was going up like this.
00:13:33.760 And then God, I went, okay, I'm understanding what's happening.
00:13:37.740 I'm a Christian.
00:13:38.280 I'm a God.
00:13:38.800 Let me calm down.
00:13:39.840 And even Pat was like, we're going to win.
00:13:42.360 Okay?
00:13:42.740 That's the difference.
00:13:43.760 And you keep saying fascist.
00:13:45.000 You keep saying this shit.
00:13:46.080 And then this guy, Pat, this ABC guy, you want to know how gone, how gone?
00:13:50.360 And when I say you're not supposed to like mainstream media, Eric, did you see this guy?
00:13:53.740 This guy, what's his name?
00:13:54.880 Gutman?
00:13:55.420 Yeah, Matt Gutman.
00:13:56.320 Matt Gutman tried to take the situation of freaking violent assassination, and he tried to make it a love story.
00:14:03.100 You can't make this up.
00:14:04.180 Rob, play this clip.
00:14:05.280 ...seen an alleged murder with such specific text messages about the alleged murder weapon, where it was hidden, how it was placed, what was on it.
00:14:15.620 But also, it was very touching in a way that I think many of us didn't expect.
00:14:19.320 Touching!
00:14:19.720 ...intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect's roommate and the suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate, who was transitioning, calling him, my love, and I want to protect you, my love.
00:14:33.220 So it was this duality of someone who the attorney said not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case.
00:14:44.180 And on the other hand, he was, you know, speaking so lovingly about his partner.
00:14:48.180 So very interesting.
00:14:49.160 You know what?
00:14:49.840 Somebody should write, he should write the notebook, but call it the assassin and make it a love story about murder and death.
00:14:56.820 What a tone-deaf, what the hell is wrong with mainstream media?
00:15:00.320 You don't dislike them enough.
00:15:02.560 So I know him.
00:15:03.880 I know Matt Guttman.
00:15:04.740 Great.
00:15:05.160 We used to be friends 20 years ago when, you know, Adrian, he worked for CNN.
00:15:09.500 They worked together.
00:15:10.820 He's been with ABC.
00:15:11.920 He's a real journalist.
00:15:13.820 This guy's been in war zones.
00:15:15.460 He's not some fly-by-night woke liberal.
00:15:17.780 However, he's been in the mainstream media, ABC, that world, for 20-plus years.
00:15:23.900 How do you think these mainstream journalists feel about Trump?
00:15:28.060 Because at the end of the day, this comes down to Trump.
00:15:30.360 Trump has broken so many people's minds.
00:15:33.180 You know, I watch The Daily Show.
00:15:35.240 We've all heard of TV.
00:15:36.040 Did you just say this guy's a fair guy?
00:15:39.640 No, I didn't say that.
00:15:40.480 I said he's a real journalist.
00:15:42.500 And a real journalist would read that and say that's a love story?
00:15:46.220 What real journalist?
00:15:47.760 By the way, your friendship with him has nothing to do with my friendship with him.
00:15:50.560 What real journalist repeats what he just said?
00:15:53.940 If he were to let me get to my point, I'm not agreeing with him.
00:15:57.640 I'm trying to give you some mindset to where he's at.
00:15:59.500 I think it's disgusting what he said.
00:16:01.480 What I'm saying is this.
00:16:03.220 TDS.
00:16:03.780 We've heard of TDS.
00:16:05.380 Trump derangement syndrome.
00:16:06.700 It also stands for The Daily Show.
00:16:08.820 I don't know how often you guys watch The Daily Show.
00:16:11.080 These people are broken.
00:16:12.860 They're broken.
00:16:13.820 They're equivocating what's going on with Trump getting shot, with Charlie Kirk getting shot.
00:16:17.880 And their only defense is, yeah, but those people in Minnesota.
00:16:21.120 That's all they have.
00:16:23.000 So I'm not running cover for this guy whatsoever.
00:16:26.360 I'm letting you know when you've been, you talk about drain the swamp.
00:16:29.580 Trump's been trying to drain the swamp.
00:16:31.100 What kind of swamp do you think the mindset of the media is?
00:16:33.860 Eric knows this better than anybody.
00:16:35.220 I do.
00:16:36.080 Honestly, Adam, I'm with Patrick on it.
00:16:39.160 You called him a legitimate journalist.
00:16:41.600 You don't think he is?
00:16:42.520 No.
00:16:43.060 Not anymore.
00:16:43.360 Look at his career.
00:16:44.680 So after this one comment, look at his accolades.
00:16:49.140 Look at his career.
00:16:49.800 After that comment, Adam, if you tell me he's completely unbiased about reporting what he sees,
00:16:55.660 I'm going to tell you full of shit.
00:16:56.700 I'm not saying he's unbiased.
00:16:58.400 He's a pundit.
00:16:59.500 He's not a real journalist.
00:17:00.300 He's a pundit.
00:17:01.300 Okay, don't take my words for it.
00:17:02.740 Look at his career.
00:17:03.560 I don't know.
00:17:03.980 I'm not questioning.
00:17:04.640 He has a storied career.
00:17:06.100 But there's no chance when they go to him and say, what do you got?
00:17:09.060 What kind of career does he have?
00:17:09.940 What do you got?
00:17:10.480 He's a reporter in the field for 100 years.
00:17:13.500 I agree.
00:17:14.320 So when they go to him and say, Matt, what do you see?
00:17:16.700 Do you think what he says right after that is completely unbiased?
00:17:19.860 Knowing what you know, that he just called a love story between a murderer, assassin.
00:17:24.760 That he's been in the news media for 20 years.
00:17:27.460 What I'm saying is he can't help but being biased.
00:17:30.300 I'm not defending him.
00:17:31.280 You are.
00:17:32.380 You donned him a respectable journalist.
00:17:35.960 Look at his damn credentials, Eric.
00:17:37.840 What are you talking about?
00:17:38.660 Can we scroll down?
00:17:40.240 It makes him a long-time journalist.
00:17:41.920 This guy's been in war zones.
00:17:42.540 This guy's been all over the world.
00:17:44.200 He's covered how many different stories?
00:17:45.840 And does he cover him fairly?
00:17:47.320 I don't know.
00:17:47.820 That's my point.
00:17:49.540 That's my point.
00:17:50.120 Well, a good journalist would, Adam.
00:17:51.580 That's all I'm saying.
00:17:52.120 Show me a good journalist, Eric.
00:17:53.480 Show me one.
00:17:54.260 Laura Logan.
00:17:55.720 Okay.
00:17:56.160 Who's that?
00:17:57.020 You don't know who Laura Logan is?
00:17:58.060 No.
00:17:58.840 Show me another good journalist.
00:18:00.260 Why?
00:18:01.240 They're out there.
00:18:02.580 But anyways.
00:18:03.280 Show me names.
00:18:03.680 The point is, this is indicative of what a normal journalist would even think.
00:18:11.660 It's a fact that I'm exposing how they all think.
00:18:14.720 Let me say this to you, though.
00:18:16.220 Just to, how many people have called it a love affair?
00:18:22.120 Not him.
00:18:23.080 One.
00:18:23.680 Only this guy.
00:18:24.440 ABC.
00:18:25.100 This is.
00:18:25.880 I'm sure there's more.
00:18:26.900 No, no.
00:18:28.000 There may be more.
00:18:29.540 Yeah, on Discord.
00:18:31.300 On a guy like this to call it this, dude, you got a few screws missing to say something.
00:18:36.620 What do you mean a love affair?
00:18:38.300 It's just a great, loving relationship.
00:18:40.780 Stop it.
00:18:41.700 Did he?
00:18:42.220 By the way, we're not journalists.
00:18:44.220 Did he take that exchange and put it on ChatGBT?
00:18:47.980 What did he put it through?
00:18:49.740 What is he?
00:18:50.420 His job is to go to more research than us.
00:18:52.740 We're freaking just regular people talking.
00:18:54.300 We're not no journalists.
00:18:56.300 We're citizen journalists.
00:18:57.560 You're right.
00:18:57.900 You got talking about it, right?
00:18:59.200 He was a commentator.
00:19:00.640 He's a commentator.
00:19:01.440 If you're a commentator, great.
00:19:02.340 No problem.
00:19:02.840 But you're not a guy that can call yourself a journalist if you just tell us that and
00:19:06.700 say, this is a great love story.
00:19:08.380 On Monday, I told you guys, any USA merch you buy, 100% of the proceeds, not proceeds,
00:19:16.660 not the profit, not the gross profits, whatever you buy, 100% will go to Turning Point USA.
00:19:22.040 And within 24 hours, we sold $100,000 worth.
00:19:27.900 So we're announcing today that we're sending $100,000 to Turning Point USA.
00:19:31.800 We sent it to them yesterday.
00:19:33.460 It was wired over to them yesterday.
00:19:35.260 It should hit again either yesterday or today.
00:19:37.820 But we're continuing again today.
00:19:39.880 So anybody who didn't participate, just so you know, that $100,000 went because of you.
00:19:45.340 You guys chose to do this.
00:19:46.740 So respect to all of you.
00:19:48.500 But we're doing it again.
00:19:49.320 And we even added a couple new shirts there just in the memory of Charlie.
00:19:53.520 This is one that says, live free with the American flag.
00:19:57.020 And if you zoom in on the American flag, you'll see future looks bright on it right there.
00:20:01.000 And then there's a ton of other items.
00:20:04.040 Team USA, if you love America, if you love Charlie, if you want to find a way to collectively
00:20:08.580 contribute to Turning Point USA, 100% of whatever you purchase here today, any one of these items
00:20:14.540 you purchase on a USA collection, 100% of it will go to Turning Point USA and we'll give
00:20:19.720 that update again on what that looks like between now and Friday.
00:20:22.860 So to everybody that did that, salute to you.
