- The Joe Rogan experience.
- And so in that situation,
and I'm probably kind of giving away too much information
'cause the video's not out yet,
but I think it's necessary.
So the guy walks in, he says he's robbing the place.
He hasn't shot anyone yet,
but he starts arguing with another person.
And the other guy's supposed to be
like a new concealed carrier.
And then the guy stands up, he's like,
"Yo, what's your problem, what are you doing?"
And he's kind of angling towards his gun,
but he's not, he hasn't gone for it yet.
The other guy has a gun too,
the guy who came in to rob the place,
but he hasn't pointed his gun at anyone,
he hasn't shot anyone.
So at that point, theoretically speaking,
you could argue that's just mutual combat.
- Yeah.
- Right, so which one can I shoot?
Who's actually endangering who?
- Right.
- So I ended up shooting a guy who came to rob the place.
The problem is, I shot him in the back too.
But that was from the standpoint of,
when I decided to shoot, I know how to shoot.
So I dropped four or five rounds just naturally
into the guy.
And he was like, "Oh shit."
He turns around, 'cause he's getting shocked
as I'm shooting him.
So he turns to run.
- So is it like a laser that sets off
like a haptic feedback suit?
- Yeah, so you're wearing a vest, right?
It's called a stress vest.
So you're wearing a stress vest,
and so it sends out a laser every time you hit that person,
and it shocks you.
- And does it shock you like a taser?
Does it shock?
- It's as bad as you want it to be.
- Really?
So you could get it to the point
where it immobilizes your body?
- I don't think it gets that high.
I think it gets to the point
where you're like, "Okay, get this thing off me."
- Have you ever been tased?
- No.
- I haven't either, but I've watched people get tased,
and I'm curious.
- I'm not.
- Because some people can just fucking handle it, man.
- They can't.
Aren't they usually high?
- I don't know.
It's a good question.
- I think sometimes they're high.
- But how does that stop your body
from shutting off due to the electricity?
- That is true.
That I don't know.
- 'Cause I've seen people just get zapped,
and they just stand there,
and they just pull the shit right out of the body.
- Now I did see this one video guy did that.
The cop was being very patient with the guy,
and he zapped him, and he's nothing,
and he's like, "All right."
And he zapped him again, he dropped.
- Really, second time he dropped.
- So I don't know what part
you know, I don't understand.
That's outside of my wheelhouse, honestly.
- My friend Dana White, he went,
for one of his shows, they all got tasered,
and they felt like, their body just shut off.
Like, they just fell over.
- See, the funny thing about it
is I had the stress vest on, too.
So when I was doing it, so the whole time,
I'm like, "I don't want to experience this."
- Yeah, fuck that.
- So if he hit you, he turned and hit, yeah.
- Mm-hmm, yeah.
- Yeah, I'm curious to what that's like.
I'm sure it's horrible, you know?
- I mean, I'll put it like this.
When I shot him, he yelled.
So I'm assuming it's pretty bad.
- Yeah.
- But, you know, from that perspective,
I still ended up shooting him in the back.
- Hmm.
Now, is that legal?
- Um.
- 'Cause he's not, you are not in danger.
You're just acting almost like as law enforcement,
or as protection.
- So in that particular case, once we broke it down,
my shooting was justified, right?
Um, but it just goes to show you how thin that line is
between justified and unjustified.
- And doesn't it also, like, well, in that situation,
was there cameras involved?
- Yeah.
- 'Cause it's in a store.
- Yeah.
- But what if you're in a school,
like in a school situation?
Like, if you walked in and shot that guy
who was killing those kids, and you shot 'em in the back,
clearly you'd be justified, right?
- Yeah, you'd be justified at that,
'cause you're, that's in defense of a third party.
- Okay.
- Right.
So at that point, all bets are off.
Like, whether I shoot you in the back, front, side,
but I guess the argument that could be made
in my particular situation is, he was retreating.
- Right.
- 'Cause he was running out.
That's why I shot him, 'cause he turned to run away.
And so it was basically, and it happens really quickly.
- Right.
- And the split times between my trigger pull are pretty fast.
So it's like, bang, bang, bang, bang.
And you know, that time period,
he can turn and catch one in the back.
But, you get an aggressive enough prosecutor,
that's the argument they made.
If I was a prosecutor, that's the argument I would make.
- You know about the case in Austin,
where a guy was not, he was not charged
for a long period of time, but it was at a,
one of the protests during the pandemic.
And this guy apparently was military,
and he was an Uber driver.
He was Uber driving.
- I do remember that, yeah.
- So he pulled down this road,
I think he was following his GPS,
and he pulled down this road,
and all of a sudden he's faced with the people
that were blocking the road.
- The protests, yeah.
- And this guy pulls an AK-47 out and points at him.
- And he shoots him.
- He's a veteran.
I mean, he's used to being in, you know,
live combat situations,
and he just pulls out his gun and shoots him.
- Did he get charged?
- He did get charged.
- Did he get convicted?
- I don't know.
Let's find out what the status on that was,
'cause all of my friends that are law enforcement
or military were furious that he got charged,
because this guy literally pointed the gun at his face.
- Yeah.
- Like he's standing there pointing the gun.
What are you gonna do?
It's like, how do you know if the guy's gonna kill you or not?
Like, it's unreasonable to point a gun at a person
in that scenario.
- But you know what that speaks to?
- What?
- Edu-fucking-cation.
- Education.
- Dude, like, in my videos,
I say this time and time and time and time again.
We have over 400 million guns in this country, man.
You're not getting away from the guns.
You're not.
- And if you take them away from legal,
people that have 'em legally.
- The only people that are gonna have 'em.
- Yeah, are the people that have 'em illegally.
- Exactly.
And so, if we understand that this is the country that we live in,
we have a second amendment,
we understand the culture in this country,
how do we not spend just even a decent amount of resources
on a federal level, on say local level,
to teach people the dynamics involved with firearm ownership?
- Let me ask you this.
One of the things about people that are pro-second amendment
is they don't want to change any of the restrictions
or any, the way it's set up right now,
they wanna keep it exactly the way it is
in terms of what kind of background checks exist,
where they don't wanna add any sort of additional checks,
any sort of additional restrictions.
Why is it so easy to get a gun license?
- Because efficiency.
- But why is it so hard to get a driver's license?
- Because people suck at driving.
- But don't people suck at shooting?
- Some do.
A lot of people do. - A lot of people do, right?
- The difference though too is,
we're talking about a constitutional right versus a privilege.
When I had got a concealed carry permit,
I had to go through an extensive examination
which also involved showing
that you are proficient at shooting.
Why don't people have to do that?
- Well, because we are talking about a constitutional right.
So the standard is a lot different than say,
okay, we're giving you the privilege
to drive this car on the road.
So like with a car, I can own any car I want.
If I have private property,
I can drive all over that private property
without any education, without any instruction
or any of that stuff.
Now, the moment I want to step out into the public
with this car and drive it on public roads,
that's when I have to get license,
get registration and all of those things.
- Okay, I see what you're saying.
So if someone wants to have a gun
and they want to take it somewhere,
then they have to go through these examinations.
- Generally speaking.
So like, that used to be the case in Texas.
Now, no, now we have constitutional carry,
which means that you don't have to go through
those procedures in order to carry a firearm.
- So here's the story.
Uber also released a statement.
Unfortunately, we aren't able to comment
on pending litigation.
This is about the guy who's an Uber driver.
As we've released in the past,
this incident is not related to the Uber platform.
Says for now, this gentleman Perry remains indicted
on multiple charges, including murder in this case.
In August, his attempt to get the murder charge dropped
was denied.
From what I understand,
this has to do with the district attorney in Austin.
We have a lot of very liberal district attorneys in this country.
They just repealed the guy in San Francisco to screams and cheers
of people who are dealing with unprecedented crime and homelessness there.
- Don't give me a start on San Francisco, bro.
- Oh, well, you're the one who told me about it.
You're the one who explained to me the whole homeless situation.
We've talked about it multiple times and credited you with explaining it.
Since you're a lawyer and you understand the inner workings of the machine in a
way
that I probably don't.
I don't know what else with you, you know what got me to understand it?
It wasn't me being a lawyer.
It was me being on the ground and seeing this shit and talking to the people.
That's what really set it off for me.
Because when I was with the NRA and we were doing these mini documentaries,
going to these different places and talking to the people on the ground,
they were explaining stuff to me.
You can watch the video, you see it in my face.
Like, I'm like, the same way you reacted,
the same way I reacted when I first heard it.
I thought it was a funding thing.
I thought, like, do we need more money for homelessness?
And then when I realized that it's a business,
it's like a light bulb went off.
When you explained it to me, I was like, of course, it's like everything else.
When you showed me the numbers and the people in LA making $260,000 a year
to deal with the homeless situation and it's not going anywhere,
I'm like, that person has a fucking great job.
You know, I actually analogize that to the issue with gun violence in the inner
city.
How so?
So, it's a theory.
Do I have concrete data to affirm it?
Nope.
But I think to a degree, a lot of these leaders and politicians in the inner
city
need that violence in the inner city to continue
as a way to justify the necessity for them being in the positions that they're
in.
Like, what kind of position?
So, if you think about it, the vast majority of the gun violence in this
country
is from the inner city, like overwhelmingly so.
The numbers are crazy.
Like, when people talk about gun violence in this country, maybe we should
start with that.
Yeah.
Right?
Gun violence in this country, when you look at gun deaths,
a gigantic percentage of them are suicides.
Yeah.
Right?
What is-
I would say about 65%, 63 to 65% are suicides.
Okay, so, when we're talking about gun violence, I mean, I am not, clearly I'm
not in favor of suicide.
Yeah.
You know, obviously I want people to get help and live happy lives, but this is
not my main concern.
My main concern is people harming other people.
Yeah.
So, when we look at the numbers of gun violence, it's always exaggerated
because they don't include
the fact that that is a large number.
They're starting to do it now.
They didn't before.
I only hear about it on Fox News.
Yeah.
Like, they legit, I remember, because this was like at the genesis kind of of
my two-way advocacy,
when I was looking at the numbers.
Because I kind of initially just took the numbers for what they were.
And I just assumed, because you hear gun violence, you see, you hear gun deaths.
You're thinking people shooting at other people in the middle of the street and
dropping dead.
Right?
And then I started looking into the numbers and I started to realize, wait, 63
to 65% are suicides?
And like, point out, it's not that I don't care about suicides.
But then I also backdoored and I said, okay, well, let's look at the suicide
rate just as a whole
in America versus other places that have strict gun laws.
And I remember when I was on Bill Maher and I was sitting at the round table,
we kind of started getting into that discussion.
And you would think, considering we have as many guns as we have in this
country in the hands of
civilians, you'd think, on the surface, we'd lead the world in suicides.
We don't.
Not even close.
So that stands to reason that the issue with suicides isn't a gun thing.
It is purely a mental health thing.
Yes.
Right?
So that's why I'm able to, okay, let's set this aside and now deal with what's
remaining.
Then you have a very small percentage that are accidental gun deaths.
Right?
We're talking about, like, maybe totality in a year, a thousand.
And what percentage is that about?
I think it's like, if I remember correctly, it's like three to five percent.
Okay.
Or something like that.
So we're almost at 70 percent then.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're at like 68 somewhere.
And that's including, and then there's another percentage that includes officer
shootings,
whether it's officer shooting a criminal or a criminal killing an officer,
right?
So we can put that here over here as well because that's a different dynamic.
What percentage are officers shooting?
That's sitting somewhere in about the, also two to three percent.
I'm probably flipping it.
I don't know if the accidental gun deaths are about two to three and the
officer's like five, if I'm not mistaken.
We could find out.
Jamie will pull it up so we could get an accurate assessment of it.
But to get to where we want to go is essentially homicides with firearms.
Right.
That's where we want to be.
And generally speaking, you've got a range of about eight to 12,000 people
every year die
from actually being shot by another person.
That includes mass shootings, everything.
Right.
And then what percentage of those are gang related?
So, because the whole gang related, because now what's happening is they're
taking a lot
of the gang related shootings and including them in mass shootings.
It's just kind of like what happened in Philadelphia recently.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
They called the Philadelphia shooting and just happened recently a mass
shooting.
What was the Philadelphia one?
It was basically, there was a shootout between, I don't know how many people it
was,
but there's a, there was like, I can't remember exactly where in Philly it was,
but essentially I can't remember, a lot of people got shot.
And they called it a mass shooting.
It was street violence.
That's what it was.
It was, it was two parties going at it and they call it mass shooting.
I can, I guess you can argue why that that's considered a mass shooting, but it's
not.
But in our minds, when we think about it, a mass shooting is somebody, you have
an individual
or multiple people who want to go and kill as many innocent people as possible.
Right.
Right.
We're not talking about people who are shooting each other over disputes.
This was a dispute that took place in the public
between two people with guns.
Right.
Essentially.
And then, so they want to call that a mass shooting.
And I'm like, that's not fair because the way that deal with these types of
things,
it's, it's, they're different.
The same way you don't include the suicides and the homicides because they're
different
reasons for why they're happening.
Right.
And so a lot of the vast majority of the gun violence, the homicide aspect of
it is from
the inner cities.
That's where it's coming from.
It's these kids.
Literally, when I say kids, I'm talking like 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 year olds.
They're shooting each, they're shooting at each other.
Now, I'm not dismissing that and saying that it's irrelevant and that we
shouldn't be, we
shouldn't factor that in.
What I'm saying is it's a totally different reason for why it's happening.
It's not a gun issue.
It's a socioeconomic issue.
Because if you take those same kids that look like me, right?
I know a lot of, I know, I know a lot of black people, people of color who live
in the suburbs
of America and they're not running around committing drive-bys in their BMWs.
They're not.
So what's the difference there?
They have access to guns the same way these kids have access to guns.
And these kids have access to guns illegally in the inner city.
The difference is it's prolonged exposure to poverty.
But nobody wants to have that conversation.
The reason they don't want to have that conversation is because it is admittedly
hard to deal with.
It's hard.
It's convoluted and it's difficult.

You can watch the video, you see it in my face.
Like, I'm like, the same way you reacted,
the same way I reacted when I first heard it.
I thought it was a funding thing.
I thought, like, do we need more money for homelessness?
And then when I realized that it's a business,
it's like a light bulb went off.
When you explained it to me, I was like, of course, it's like everything else.
When you showed me the numbers and the people in LA making $260,000 a year
to deal with the homeless situation and it's not going anywhere,
I'm like, that person has a fucking great job.
You know, I actually analogize that to the issue with gun violence in the inner
city.
How so?
So, it's a theory.
Do I have concrete data to affirm it?
Nope.
But I think to a degree, a lot of these leaders and politicians in the inner
city

as a way to justify the necessity for them being in the positions that they're

is from the inner city, like overwhelmingly so.
The numbers are crazy.
Like, when people talk about gun violence in this country, maybe we should

a gigantic percentage of them are suicides.

Okay, so, when we're talking about gun violence, I mean, I am not, clearly I'm
not in favor of suicide.
Yeah.
You know, obviously I want people to get help and live happy lives, but this is
not my main concern.
My main concern is people harming other people.
Yeah.
So, when we look at the numbers of gun violence, it's always exaggerated
because they don't include
the fact that that is a large number.
They're starting to do it now.
They didn't before.
I only hear about it on Fox News.
Yeah.
Like, they legit, I remember, because this was like at the genesis kind of of
my two-way advocacy,
when I was looking at the numbers.
Because I kind of initially just took the numbers for what they were.
And I just assumed, because you hear gun violence, you see, you hear gun deaths.
You're thinking people shooting at other people in the middle of the street and
dropping dead.
Right?
And then I starte
