00:00:00.000 Rob, tragic event in Minneapolis. Alex Preddie was at the protest, and while the events are
00:00:09.760 taking place, Rob, which clips can we show? Because at this point, people have seen many
00:00:15.260 of the clips. Let's show this until it gets to the part of the shooting. Rob, go for it.
00:00:20.360 So this is the protest that's going on. Ice is coming down.
00:00:25.220 Oh, the audio a little bit, Rob. The whistling is in the street, obstructing.
00:00:34.020 And I think the majority of these officers were border patrol agents, correct?
00:00:38.020 They're border patrol agents, majority of them. So that's Alex.
00:00:45.480 There's the bear spray or the... Oh, fighting back, dragging the girl.
00:00:50.120 Okay, you can pause it right there. You can pause it right there. This leads to shooting,
00:00:56.800 and eventually Alex dies after this event that takes place, and it's been talked about all over
00:01:05.240 the place. The left is blaming Trump, calling him Gestapo, using phrases that is just, again,
00:01:14.080 the types of phrases that cause people to jump to conclusion, saying this was intentional.
00:01:21.000 Why did they do this? You know, CNN done a bunch of different interviews. I can read a bunch of
00:01:25.680 the stories here, but let's kind of read one of them. Alex Preddie, 37, identified man as fatally
00:01:30.100 shot by border patrol agent in Minneapolis. Rob, if you have a clip on that one, I'll go to this first.
00:01:37.820 And then we got, is that Christine Ohm? Yes, sir. Go ahead. Go ahead and play this clip.
00:01:42.040 An individual approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun.
00:01:49.460 The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. Fearing for
00:01:56.040 his life and for the lives of his fellow officers around him, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics
00:02:02.240 were on the scene immediately and attempted to deliver medical aid. Okay, so that's that. I'll come to
00:02:09.820 you first, Tom. What happened? What is your impression of what happened? And then, of course,
00:02:15.040 we'll go into the rest of the issues. Well, I don't need to break down the video because I think
00:02:18.560 everybody has seen it from 10 angles along with people putting spin on it. What I want to know is
00:02:25.520 how does an emergency room nurse get involved with a highly organized group? He was out there with his
00:02:32.720 camera up and he was directing traffic. There was no dispute that he stepped out into the street and
00:02:38.140 they were trying to direct cars to come up and stop. People in cars were, some of them were people
00:02:44.700 that were also organized. So this guy puts himself out in harm's way. It didn't have to happen.
00:02:51.940 There was a report from Minnesota News that his parents apparently told news that they said,
00:02:58.460 don't go get involved with this. Why are you getting involved with this? So there was some
00:03:01.520 concern on the part of the family. So he goes down where officers have actions going and he was part
00:03:08.060 of an organized group. He goes down there armed. He had his phone. And so I look at it and I'm like
00:03:13.800 saying, Alex, you didn't have to die. What were you doing there? And more importantly, how did you get
00:03:19.680 involved with these people and get into part of the organization to come down and disrupt traffic
00:03:25.040 during a law enforcement action that was being carried out by the border patrol?
00:03:29.960 That was my first response. And then we all saw what happened. It got crazy. And by the way,
00:03:35.980 the police and law enforcement of every division in every department, whether it's border patrol that
00:03:41.600 we saw here, by the way, Minnesota police, local police, where the hell were you when this is going on?
00:03:47.140 And ICE, they don't get to break it down frame by frame in slow motion. This thing is happening at
00:03:54.780 speed. And you heard the first discharge. All he had to do was stand up and say, wait, wait, wait,
00:04:01.560 wait, wait, and put his arms straight out. They're either going to leave you on the ground or they're
00:04:05.760 going to stand you up to the sidewalk, put you against a car or against a wall. That's all he had
00:04:10.580 to do is to yell, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, or, and put his arms straight up to show with palms
00:04:16.140 open. But instead he chose to struggle and he chose to be there in the first place. And I think it's a
00:04:21.660 tragedy, but I want to know who organized this and who pulled this guy into it where he thought that
00:04:27.420 it was okay to go down there. And by the way, his parents are telling media, we said, why are you
00:04:32.460 getting involved in this? You shouldn't be down here. Vinny, where are you at with this? Well,
00:04:35.700 first and foremost, uh, you guys know what I do. I carry a nine millimeter Springfield Hellcat.
00:04:42.400 You know, I have it on me. I have it on me all the time. You know what I don't do, Pat? I don't go
00:04:47.400 to organize protests. Okay. Cause there was a fact that he was actively tracking and targeting
00:04:52.940 ice on that secret Minnesota signal chat. Okay. I don't go to protests with other agents who have
00:04:59.260 guns and interfere with official federal business. Okay. You know why? Because I'm not stupid,
00:05:05.700 Patrick. And I know, I know that there's a possibility. If I get into a fight, something
00:05:10.300 crazy might happen. Okay. And there's a little, I did some research. I wanted to find out about
00:05:14.120 this gun because from what I saw, they, they took the gun, but he was still reaching for
00:05:19.560 something because he had two extra clips. I remember I was looking for a gun last year
00:05:23.540 because I already have a six hour Tommy. Uh, right now I have a healthcare. I have a bunch
00:05:27.160 of guns, but the gun that he had was a six hour P three 20. And the reason I didn't get
00:05:33.320 it, do you know why it's been known for a history of misfiring by itself? Law enforcement.
00:05:39.300 There's lawsuits. Rob, look at the pap pig. The six hour P three 20 subject to over 100
00:05:44.920 lawsuits alleging that it can fire without a trigger pull the incident. And I, Rob, I don't,
00:05:50.180 we don't have to go to it. There's a bunch of videos. There's one of cops in a hospital.
00:05:53.920 They're arresting some individual had, they grabbed the guy's legs and the cops gun goes and shoots
00:05:59.320 and all the cops are tripping out. So add this to the recipe of disaster. Are you ready for this?
00:06:04.440 He's there. He's interfering. Uh, they're in the, in the, in the skirmish. One agent grabs the gun.
00:06:10.700 He's walking away. That gun misfires. This is my opinion. Misfires. It spooks everybody there.
00:06:17.460 And mind you simultaneously, he's grabbing for the gun that he thinks is still there. Okay,
00:06:23.000 but let's go back. Why is he there? He's there because he's told from his governor and he's
00:06:29.140 getting proper. I don't know if he was getting paid or not, but I don't know why anybody else
00:06:32.180 would be there. If you're not going to be getting money for it, unless you're that brainwashed,
00:06:35.320 but they were told go there, get in their faces. It's a call to action. I tweeted earlier today,
00:06:42.100 Rob, can you please just show this is the epitome of what is happening right now in Minnesota.
00:06:48.080 This picture right here, it's Tim Walsh behind the gate in his mansion with security telling his
00:06:54.680 useful idiots to go and die, to distract from what guys, the billions and billions of dollars
00:07:01.060 of fraud in his state and to keep protecting illegals, AKA democratic voters at the end of
00:07:06.500 the day, take all your emotion out and take a step back. Why? Why Minnesota? Why is it happening?
00:07:12.280 And I think that's the key issue because Penn, if you don't mind, Rob, did you hear one thing of
00:07:17.580 Ivory Smith? Can you show these photos? You'll never hear this or you'll never see this. I sent Rob
00:07:22.640 three photos on Slack. Could you go to the young black girl? This is Ivory Smith, okay? Does anybody
00:07:28.980 know about her? Killed by a drunk driver, her mother critically injured, seven years old. Go to
00:07:34.020 Jocelyn Nungere. Pat, this 12-year-old was raped. Her throat was slit by two illegals from Venezuela,
00:07:40.500 12 years old. And then the last, you want to talk about nurses, Lake and Riley was 22 years old
00:07:44.920 jogging. I saw a video of her parents showing up to the scene. Pat, I don't want to send it to you
00:07:48.840 and I'm not going to because it'll, it'll ground you. Everybody, they're on the floor crying. She
00:07:52.880 was jogging. She was, the guy was trying to sexually assault her for 18 minutes. She fought
00:07:58.700 him. She fought him. And then he crushed her head with a rock. Nobody cares. No media, no left. It's
00:08:05.280 all bullshit. Sorry for my language. It's all fake. Okay. So when you start caring about people like
00:08:09.940 that, I'll start caring about some stupid nurse that shouldn't have been there in the first place.
00:08:13.900 People can talk about, Oh, he was disarmed and things like that. He may have been disarmed,
00:08:17.860 but he wasn't giving up and he's still in a struggle that was going at speed with federal
00:08:23.060 officers. And then a gun fires, his gun that he brought to the event. So come on. I mean,
00:08:29.100 it's a tragedy that he's dead, but it was his decision that he was there. Umberto.
00:08:34.820 I think in this case, context really matters. Like if you look, I mean, I'm all for the second
00:08:39.740 amendment, but if you look at every federal building, all right, guns are not allowed. All right. And
00:08:45.220 this is a federal interaction with a federal officer. Like we made the rules. So people
00:08:50.380 that are going to have an interaction with the federal government don't have guns on them.
00:08:54.360 You know what I mean? Uh, and the second thing is the context of a riot. Like, I don't know
00:08:59.140 if any of you guys been inside of a riot, like things. And what Tom said, like time moves
00:09:04.360 faster than it actually moves in real life. Like these are split second decisions, one
00:09:09.600 gun going off, like the whole, like a riot. I don't know if you guys seen when there's
00:09:13.640 like big stampedes of people and people get trampled, like one thing that goes wrong, it
00:09:18.760 will trigger the whole crowd and people are going to go crazy. It's a big tragedy. Every
00:09:23.040 time an American life is lost, doesn't matter which side it is. For sure. Like I'm going to,
00:09:26.980 I'm going to take that to the grave. You know, like it's a big tragedy, but in a, in a context
00:09:31.680 of a riot, in a con, in the context of a, of an interaction with a federal officer, I
00:09:36.200 think is, is, is terrible. He also didn't have his permit. He didn't have his ID, which
00:09:41.900 is, uh, it's illegal. He didn't have all that. And I don't know, is Minnesota have a
00:09:46.360 law for bringing a firearm to a political protest? I don't know. I don't know the laws
00:09:54.040 in Minnesota, but I don't see that that'd be something that you do. Why would you bring
00:09:56.820 a gun? Why would you bring a gun and get into everybody's face unless you were asking
00:10:00.060 for it? Well, I want to get back into the story you talked about of who they're not
00:10:04.240 talking about, but before we do, can you do me a favor, Rob, and play the Jacob Fry
00:10:08.240 clip of him criticizing ICE? Here's Jacob Fry, the mayor. Here's what he had to say. Go
00:10:14.080 ahead, Rob. This is not a partisan issue. This is an American issue. This administration
00:10:23.020 and everyone involved in this operation should be reflecting. They should be reflecting right
00:10:29.960 now and asking themselves, what exactly are you accomplishing? If the goal was to achieve
00:10:39.800 peace and safety, this is doing exactly the opposite. If the goal was to achieve calm and prosperity,
00:10:50.740 this is doing exactly the opposite. Are you standing up for American families right now
00:10:57.960 or are we tearing them apart?
00:11:02.720 Okay. You can pause that. You can pause that right there. You know, one sits there. There's
00:11:08.200 different people. And by the way, I called this two years ago when they said they're going to deport
00:11:14.080 everybody. I said chaos is going to be nasty. I said this in 24 when they said this. And I'm
00:11:21.520 talking in June is when I said this of 24. I said, look how nasty the clips are going to be
00:11:27.300 and how it's going to, Rob, if we can even go back and try to find that clip from 24 when I talked
00:11:33.280 about this, we have to search technology to be able to do that. You know which one I'm talking about
00:11:37.800 on the site that we can do that? Let's see if you can pull it up. Rob is a magician. So go through
00:11:43.960 all the communities of people that are seeing this. Let's go to the average person in America
00:11:49.840 who doesn't follow politics closely. They're just an average father, mother. I got a job. I pay the
00:11:56.660 bills. I take care of my kids. I take them to soccer. I'm a soccer mom. I go to church. I don't go
00:12:01.480 to church. I watch football. The average person. To the average person in America, what does this look
00:12:07.340 like? To the average person in America, what does it look like? What's happening? To the average
00:12:12.240 person in America. It's Gestapo. It's they're killing America. These guys are walking around
00:12:17.340 grabbing American civilians and just shooting them point blank. And you know who I'm talking
00:12:21.320 about? You know how they say what service every year at the church is very busy? What service
00:12:25.960 is it? Christmas, Easter, Easter, or what? Christmas. It's normally those two, right? Okay. What percentage
00:12:31.620 of people watch the news 24 seven? Not a lot. Okay. But imagine those who watch the news every
00:12:38.160 time something happens. Yes. So, oh my God, did somebody get shot in Minneapolis? Yes. Let me go
00:12:43.400 to CNN. Yes. Let me go to NBC. Let me go to ABC. And they look at this and say, they killed an
00:12:49.280 innocent man. Are you flipping kidding me? That's what they consume. By the way, Rob, the link I sent
00:12:55.100 you on Lake and Riley, the tragic, I don't even know what words to use happened with Lake
00:13:01.080 and Riley. Do you want to know why the American people, those who follow this story are kind
00:13:06.460 of sitting there saying, you've been praying for something like this. The enemy has been
00:13:10.060 go a little bit lower. When you look at the story, the five days go a little bit lower up,
00:13:14.940 go lower, lower, lower to, I want to say, go up three paragraphs, go up three paragraphs,
00:13:19.840 go up, up three right there. Okay. Right there. Curtis Houck's study showed that ABC, CBS, and NBC
00:13:28.100 gave 20 minutes and 33 seconds to Lake and Riley's trial over five days, only 20 minutes and 33 seconds
00:13:36.540 between ABC, CBS, NBC. This is before Barry Weiss. Okay. Which was about one fourth of the coverage
00:13:45.040 they devoted to the garbage gate story against Donald Trump in the final days of the presidential
00:13:50.640 campaign. Tony Hinchcliffe's joke about Puerto Rico got 77 minutes. So what does this mean?
00:13:58.100 Be good. We need that story. Yes, that's a good story. Alex pretty. We need that story. Why? This
00:14:06.180 is good. We have to make ice look good. And by the way, while we're talking this morning with Humberto,
00:14:10.720 just so you guys know, these are not perfect candidates for them. They would prefer somebody
00:14:18.320 that was colored or black, or they need a little bit more, but they'll still use it for their own
00:14:23.560 benefit. They'll still use it. How much coverage did they give to Lake and Riley? It doesn't meet
00:14:27.780 their narrative. It makes illegal immigrants not, you know, undocumented, you know, immigrants. You
00:14:35.480 realize the crime that is taking place in America, but that's not what they want the American people to
00:14:40.100 see. They want to be able to shake things up because the reality of it is when I said, go to the Tim
00:14:45.640 Waltz tweet, Rob, when I said, you know, this, this whole thing falls a hundred percent on Tim
00:14:51.140 Waltz. Why does it fall a hundred percent on Tim Waltz? This is a hundred percent on you. You're the
00:14:56.440 leader of the state who lost complete control. Go a little bit lower and look at the commentary of
00:15:00.720 people rebuttaling to it. Okay. Go to the top one. This signals the vast fraud conducted. Skip that one.
00:15:06.560 Also government representatives. History doesn't care about excuses. Wealthy Republicans must provide.
00:15:11.000 So if the government puts federal thugs in your town, look at the verbiage. Are you saying the
00:15:15.300 state has the right to fight back? I'm going to answer that question for you. We can see the victim
00:15:19.680 was trying to protect two women who were being violent, shoved by ICE agents. He didn't have to
00:15:24.120 be a part of it. Go a little bit lower, Rob. Go a little bit lower. Does it make you feel better to
00:15:28.840 blame a Democrat when you're literally watching mask untrade government officials murdering people in the
00:15:35.380 streets? Perfect. Okay. All of these things are things that people are talking about back and
00:15:40.500 forth. And again, this is a very sensitive topic. Ask yourself the question, why did the U.S.
00:15:46.820 government have to send ICE agents into those areas? Why? Why? Could this have been prevented?
00:15:55.020 100%. Well, what do you mean? This is the Gestapo. This is ICE. This is what they want to do. They don't want
00:16:02.000 to do that. But they have to do that. Why? Because the local and state officials are not cooperating
00:16:10.620 with the federal government to give them the reports. If the local and the state officials
00:16:16.540 were cooperating and sending reports to the federal government of the crimes the illegal immigrants are
00:16:22.460 committing in that local city or that state, we don't need to send ICE because then now we're
00:16:27.380 cooperating. Well, how come this didn't happen under Obama? Ready for this one? Let's go through
00:16:32.840 it. It's blue cities. All Obama's going to do is, hey, guys, give us the list. Oh, no problem,
00:16:38.000 Mr. Obama. Oh, no problem, Jesus. Oh, no problem, President Obama. Here's the list. What else do you
00:16:43.260 need? What else do you need? We'll cooperate with you. We'll give it to you. Of course they're going to
00:16:46.680 cooperate with you because it's blue. Here, you think blue's going to cooperate with Trump to make him
00:16:52.680 look good? No. You know what the blue hates, though, which Humberto said this morning? What's
00:16:57.760 down 20%? Crime is down 20%. Murder. Why is it down 20%? Because of blue policies? Hell no. Why is it
00:17:07.040 down 20%? Pull up the report, Rob, that even CBS had to put up that so many people were furious, got 50
00:17:13.080 million views on X. Crime is down. Murder is down 20%. But the American people are not going
00:17:23.180 to see this because CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, when you watch it, they're not going to be giving you this
00:17:27.540 report. The report's going to be a very different report. Murder is down 20%. Why? Border patrol of
00:17:34.380 people crossing the border today. You know what it's down to? Nothing. Ask the question, why? So why
00:17:39.980 didn't Minnesota? So now let's ask a different question, Rob. Can you pull up right there?
00:17:44.440 Look at that chart. Can you show that, please? U.S. murder rate in 2026. What happened? What
00:17:50.440 happened? Why did it drop the way it has? Why? Answer this question. Of course you have to use
00:17:57.440 Alex Pretty and drive the hell out of it because you're trying to divide because you want to blame
00:18:02.340 everything on Trump. Of course you have to do that. That's the playbook. But why don't you cooperate?
00:18:07.140 And by the way, Tim Waltz or all these other places, what would have happened if Tim Waltz
00:18:12.360 would have cooperated? Jacob Fry, when you're blaming ICE, what if you would have cooperated?
00:18:17.440 What if you would have sent a report back to the White House? What if you would have told
00:18:20.520 them, here's how many illegals we have. Let's arrest them. They're breaking the law. They're
00:18:24.600 stealing money from our taxpayers. No, no, no. I need their votes because if I cooperate,
00:18:29.680 I may not get reelected. So I'll go dance like them. I'll go eat whatever the banana and all
00:18:35.140 the stuff that they're talking about. I'll go do all that stuff. No, I can't do that. Go back to
00:18:39.120 that stat, Rob, that you just had. Okay. What happened to stats? Okay. You know, all the numbers
00:18:45.580 that's going on right now all over the place, we're seeing this. So if you cooperated, this would have
00:18:49.960 never, ever happened. Alex would have been here. Tim Waltz, it's on you. Fry, it's on you. All you
00:18:57.560 have to do is work hand in hand with the U.S. government. Do you remember the one mayor, I believe,
00:19:02.940 that was in D.C. saying, yeah, we're working with the White House because we want the streets
00:19:06.360 to get cleaner. And guess what? The president has cleaned up the city. And she is not a Republican.
00:19:11.600 But she was cooperating. Why? Because she wanted to make sure her people were safer.
00:19:16.540 You are playing politics. The blood of Alex Pretty is in the hands of Tim Waltz and in the hands of
00:19:23.740 Jacob Fry. This could have been prevented. It could have been prevented if you cooperated.
00:19:30.000 What are the states that ICE has been sent to? What cities? What states? It's not every state.
00:19:36.140 It's not every city. I think it's California, L.A. I think Maine is another one. I think Illinois,
00:19:42.240 Chicago is another one. And I think Minnesota is another one. If it's really Trump's trying to
00:19:47.200 target everybody, why is he not doing it in all 50 states? Why not? Maybe those mayors, maybe those
00:19:53.940 local officials, maybe those local PDs are giving that report back to them. Maybe they are. So they
00:20:00.140 don't have to. Maybe they're working as something called a team to make America safer. A team. And
00:20:06.900 then, by the way, so let's do this. Let's role play this. So let's just say the folks in Minneapolis
00:20:11.460 that want to be safe, that are sick and tired of the fraud, but they're not loud people. The families
00:20:16.900 in Chicago who are going around saying, enough with these crimes. I want my kid to play outside without
00:20:22.160 me being worried about it or being afraid of it, right? So now let's talk to those families
00:20:27.100 who actually want the president to come and intervene. What if the president doesn't? So
00:20:34.280 go to the other situation. Let's not send ICE. Do you know what happens? If you don't send
00:20:39.720 it, it's your fault. If you do send it, it's your fault. Do you get the formula? It doesn't
00:20:46.420 matter what happens. It's called the rules for radicals. Rob, can you go online and just type
00:20:50.340 up? ChatGBT, what are the 13 rules for radicals? Let's just read it. Open hand. This is their
00:20:56.420 playbook, folks. What are the 13 rules for radicals? One by one by one, this is their playbook
00:21:02.860 that they use, okay? That's exactly the one by Saul Alinsky. Power is not only what you
00:21:09.360 have, but what the enemy thinks you have. Perception of power is often as important as real power.
00:21:14.720 Number two, never go outside the experience of your people. If people don't understand it,
00:21:19.460 they won't support it. Three, whenever possible, go outside the experience of the enemy. Confuse,
00:21:25.540 exhaust, and destabilize them. It's exactly what they're doing. Number four, make the enemy live
00:21:30.820 up to their own book of rules. Use their standards against them. They'll often fail to meet them.
00:21:36.140 The reporter from CNN, I believe it's Dana, asking the guy, not the director, but one of the guys that
00:21:43.120 was up there, he's like, so are you saying that Alex didn't have the right for Second Amendment?
00:21:49.220 This is kind of surprising for somebody that's a sec. This is what they do. Say that again? That's in the
00:21:55.120 playbook right there. Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It's hard to counter and infuriate
00:22:01.360 opponents. Keep ridiculing them. You're a fascist. That's right. A good tactic is one your people enjoy.
00:22:07.820 If it's fun, people will keep doing it. A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Keep pressure
00:22:14.200 fresh and dynamic. Keep the pressure on. Never let up. Relentless action is how you win. The threat is
00:22:19.880 usually more terrifying than the thing itself. Anticipation often creates more fear than action.
00:22:25.660 If you push a negative hard enough, it will break through enough into its counterside. Overreach
00:22:31.220 forces, reaction, and concessions. The price of successful attack is constructive alternative.
00:22:36.520 You must have a solution ready, which by the way, we're going to get into their solution as well,
00:22:40.720 Humberto. I'm going to come to you with that, with their solution, what they're planning on doing next,
00:22:43.920 probably with their NGOs, the DA, everything that they have control over. Pick the target,
00:22:48.340 freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Don't fight systems, fight symbols and people. Target,
00:22:53.020 target, target. Isolate, simplify, and focus attacks until the opponent cracks. That's what they're
00:22:59.660 doing. And by the way, they've done this so many times. And you know who it works on? Whoever's the
00:23:04.360 youngest generation and the old and emotional that just want their social security. Okay. The people that can
00:23:09.420 think for themselves, you have to see through what's going on here. They needed this crisis.
00:23:14.120 They needed Alex Pretty. They need this more than you know. Because in every possible way,
00:23:19.620 did you see the approval rating for Trump that came up, Rob? Did you guys see the approval rating
00:23:23.300 that just came up for Trump, 49%? More. And 70% are extremely positive. Yeah. So this was a report
00:23:30.180 that we just talked about a couple of days ago on X. It was on our group text that we sent to each
00:23:36.480 other, Rob, which I'll send it to you in a minute for us to show up. So to me, this could have been
00:23:40.980 prevented. All you had to do was cooperate. You refused to cooperate. Because of that, this took
00:23:45.840 place. Vinny. Well, I mean, you basically laid out exactly what the hell is going on. But let's
00:23:51.660 take a, just a really step back because I want people to- Right there real quick since you pulled
00:23:55.660 it up. Rasmussen report, Trump's overnight presidential job approval is in. Single
00:24:00.760 overnight approval for last night, 49.58% is the highest in over a month. His approval is up
00:24:04.980 today in a five-day rolling. America's turning 250 this year. And by the way, we're doing something
00:24:11.860 special on the 250th, 4th of July. Stay tuned. I'll announce it to you when it's ready to announce.
00:24:19.280 It's going to be wild. But we're going to do a handful of special pieces of merch, limited edition,
00:24:24.460 numbered. Okay. This one's going to be out of 250 with the number 250. So it's numbered
00:24:30.720 out of 250 for the 250-year celebration of U.S. It will not last long. Rob, play this
00:24:36.960 clip. Future looks bright. We're excited about this year with all the chaos that's happened.
00:24:41.960 And when we break down to you what is really going on or makes sense to you. But having said
00:24:45.860 that, Rob, go ahead and play this clip.
00:24:46.980 We don't just make products. We carry a legacy built on American craftsmanship, intention,
00:24:56.360 and pride. 250 years of history refined for today. Every detail tells a story.
00:25:06.800 Every piece stands for who we are. This is tradition. Reimagined. This is our 250 years
00:25:22.920 limited edition collection. The future looks bright at 250.
00:25:28.100 All right, guys. This is all I'll tell you. Good luck if you sat on this one. If you wait,
00:25:37.360 by the way, for some of you guys that unfortunately will watch this this afternoon because you wait
00:25:40.720 for the clips, you can find the items that people buy on eBay. That'll be the only place
00:25:45.900 you'll be able to get it. The hat will not last a long time. Again, it's limited merch.
00:25:50.280 So it's numbered out of 250. If you go to eBay afterwards, you may find it because these
00:25:54.620 things are not going to last, but 30 minutes, they'll be gone in no time. Every time we do
00:25:58.360 limited merch, it comes, the hat comes in a box that says future looks bright and the logo
00:26:04.720 VT right on there. So go to vtmerch.com place your order. Go to vtmerch.com, Rob. If you could
00:26:11.180 just go to the website, if you go to vtmerch.com on the cover, you'll see the 250, get the sweater
00:26:16.020 because it's cold, get the shirt and get the hat. And if not for you, buy it for somebody else
00:26:20.840 as well. Having said that shield, that shield is just amazing. It is amazing. It is amazing.
00:26:25.600 It's sick. If you enjoy this video, you want to watch more videos like this, click here.
