On this week's episode of RUMBLE, the gang violence epidemic continues to rage on the streets of New York City, and the police department is under fire for their handling of the situation. Plus, we hear from a gun expert on whether you should be allowed to carry a firearm in public, and what it means to be a good cop.

00:02:35.000an interesting twist I think we should go very well Welcome to the lineup live on Rumble.
00:03:07.0009 a.m. Eastern we found out I might have remember that little medieval time story about smacking my head in the glass hard?
00:03:13.000It may have been a con that would explain the vertigo throwing up 9 a.m.
00:03:20.000I was supposed to ease back into activities not be up at 430 wearing silly costumes doing dueling Scott steps 9 a.m. Eastern to 7 p.m. Eastern live here.
00:03:59.000So we're going to be talking about that and also have Brandon Herrera on the show.
00:04:04.000I guess you say gun expert, gun specialist, huge channel because SIG P320 and going through these expensive, lengthy military trials to become the official pistol of the army is allegedly going off and shooting people.
00:04:16.000And there's some controversy around that.
00:04:18.000But the handling thereafter from SIG taking a steaming dump on you, the American customer base, doesn't seem to be going all that well.
00:04:26.000And remember that Cincinnati PD chief saying that the gang beating from the pack of blacks on the defenseless white, there are two sides.

00:07:07.000So Strange animal, that's what I know.
00:07:29.000I got to follow I'm going to speed it to slow I'm going to speed it to slow The level of cruelty in this studio, just in case, I hear people like, you know, he treats Gerald so bad.
00:07:51.000We all treat Gerald badly because he's 6'10 and he can handle it.
00:12:31.000What happens is we'll be like, yeah, how about this one?
00:12:34.000We'll come up with something and then Johnny Boy will be the carrier pigeon and take it over the edit bay and then we'll see something that has nothing to do.
00:12:41.000We're like, why is Shrek flatulating a sex toy?
00:14:36.000And we asked you, and many of you had some responses, some of which were acceptable, as to why when you see these beatings and you see them, you know, world star hip-hop and what happened in Cincinnati, this group of entirely black people just beating up on a lone white person.
00:15:47.000At times, social media and mainstream media and their commentaries are a misrepresentation of the circumstances surrounding any given event.
00:16:00.000Because what happens, that social media post and your coverage of it distorts the content of what actually happened.
00:16:11.000She never assisted in providing any type of content or context that would make that acceptable at all.
00:16:19.000And so we felt like that kind of tipped her hand a little bit.
00:16:22.000You know, you see an old berating lady who's a police chief saying, you need to hear both sides to understand this gang beating.
00:16:29.000I had a suspicion that she probably leans left and probably would really readily break down your door and do the bidding of the government.
00:16:36.000You know, we all learned about those kinds of people during COVID, so we did some digging.
00:17:18.000She showed up here at a, I believe it's a town hall, this police chief.
00:17:24.000And you think, okay, police officers, it's their job to ensure the protection of your rights.
00:17:29.000First Amendment, Second Amendment, that's why they exist.
00:17:32.000Unfortunately, she expressed some views here where, well, whenever you hear it start with, I'm pro-Second Amendment, but only we should have guns is usually where it goes.
00:17:46.000However, when you have parameters around that, part of that, the advantage of having those parameters is ensuring the officer's safety when they're dealing with somebody with a firearm, when they are carrying it legally.
00:18:04.000When we had the permit carry, part of that requirement was an individual had to go through training to be able to get a permit.
00:18:15.000There was requirements where if they encountered an officer, say at a traffic stop, they had to tell an officer that they were a permitted firearm possession.
00:18:26.000And those things have now been taken away.
00:18:29.000So now we have people who are even sometimes legally carrying firearms with no training.
00:18:36.000And now they do not have to tell an officer that they are carrying a firearm.
00:18:41.000So now the officer's mindset shifts from being on the offense quite often before they know what they're dealing with.
00:18:52.000Sounds to me like that's a problem with your officer training.
00:18:57.000You know, they went to basically permitless carry, where you have the right to carry a firearm because it's your God-given right in the United States in the state of Ohio.
00:19:14.000As a matter of fact, since carryless, or sorry, since permitless carry was enacted there in I believe 2022, six of eight major cities in Ohio have seen a decrease in gun crime.
00:19:26.000The only outliers are Dayton and Cincinnati.
00:19:32.000So, since more people began carrying firearms without the training, which we'll get to, without the need for a permit, gun crime has gone down, except for your municipality and your solution is to undo what's led to less gun crime.
00:19:45.000I know correlation doesn't equal causation, but she's making that assertion there.
00:20:27.000You watch whatever it is, The Born Identity, or you watch any mission.
00:20:30.000Oh, those people there who work in government, in our agencies, in our local PD, they really know their way around guns.
00:20:36.000It couldn't be further from the truth, but she makes that claim.
00:20:39.000These people don't have training, and so that's why they shouldn't have guns, unlike our cops.
00:20:45.000We train our officers consistently to handle their firearms in the most prudent manner and to ensure that if they have to use that, that they hit their targets.
00:21:00.000What we're seeing now, because nobody has to go through training, even in a self-defense type of a situation, they do not have training on using that firearm.
00:21:12.000I do not have confidence that that leads any citizen to hit their target if they are put in a position where they feel like they have to defend their life and discharge their weapon.
00:21:25.000Good news is that your opinions don't matter, but Officer Blobfish doesn't think that your rights matter.
00:22:44.000In many police departments, they only have to qualify once a year, maybe twice a year.
00:22:48.000Do you realize, I'm pretty sure that most people here in this street have fired more than that, probably about 10 times that in their last range session?
00:22:57.000I don't think you guys realize how woefully inept police training is with firearms.
00:23:01.00025 rounds, in some cases, 50 per year?
00:25:17.000That goes for another segment of the population.
00:25:19.000Well, that actually ties into her comments.
00:25:22.000Make a lot of sense when you look at the mayor, who effectively is in charge of, I think, establishing the city council, which establishes a city manager who chooses a police chief.
00:25:31.000Basically, you have to do the bidding of said mayor.
00:25:34.000And this mayor of Cincinnati is Aftab Pirval.
00:25:37.000Can you talk about the increasingly difficult task of policing, given the state legislature's decisions to doing away with concealed carry licenses so now anyone can openly carry?
00:25:52.000You know, what I see as a civilian observing is if everyone has a gun, including our children, it makes policing very, very challenging because identifying the threats is increasingly hard.
00:26:45.000And I'm going to tell you, you can never divorce these kinds of talking points from the corrosive worldview of leftism, progressivism, globalism, because globalism, leftism, seeks to destroy everything that you want to conserve, namely your fundamental God-given rights.
00:27:04.000Maybe this same mayor, well, maybe there's a reason that he's pushing this in Cincinnati because what he would like to see for the world, we have this footage, remember, undercover at South by Southwest?
00:28:46.000Also, when you take into account that so many defensive shootings, they occur at three yards or less, three shots or less, three seconds or less.
00:29:07.000And so I buy the gun, and while I'm talking to the guy, he says, yeah, he goes, the chances of 99% of these, 95% of these encounters are like three feet or six feet or less.
00:29:18.000And then about two minutes later, he goes, so do you want to sign up for the gun course?
00:29:21.000I go, no, I can hit something from three.
00:29:54.000We'll get to the SIG story in a little bit.
00:29:56.000But it's a good idea for you to train and to be as accustomed with your weapon as possible.
00:30:00.000But this idea that you have to be training all the time and doing tactical shooting, I want as many of you carrying a firearm as possible who know how to use it.
00:30:09.000And you know what I mean to a serviceable degree.
00:30:12.000If you fire more than one box of ammo per year, you're doing better than your local PD in most states.
00:31:59.000No one saw a president like him coming, honestly, in the year 2014 and 2015.
00:32:05.000And the conversation of trade deals and tariffs being used to generate revenue and to also modify behavior internationally was just something that hadn't been tried in our lifetime.
00:32:17.000And now, contrary to what the leftists said, where it was going to be a calamity, we were going to see a recession.
00:32:23.000It's been working out really well as far as all economic indicators.
00:32:26.000And today specifically marks the final day for Countries to strike a deal with the United States.
00:32:33.000And President Trump is not backing down in case you thought he was.
00:32:54.000Even after when we look at the results, and this is in a very short period of time, an additional $50 billion in collected revenue, CNN is still really, really mad because they predicted the disaster.
00:33:09.000Now, you'd think they'd be happy because this is good for you, the American.
00:33:11.000No, no, they just have to move the goalposts.
00:33:14.000I would just like to go, but I'd like to build a DeLorean and go back to April when everybody here was predicting likely to cause a recession.
00:33:22.000Investment stops and a recession happens.
00:33:25.000They're not talking about a U.S. recession.
00:33:26.000They're talking about a global recession.
00:34:21.000The point is at that exact moment, first off, tariffs on every country are higher, or this is the first time ever that they've had to face them since President Trump has taken office, to be clear.
00:34:31.000And the tariffs that we're seeing on United States goods have been reduced to zero in many cases.
00:34:36.000And just to be clear, she tries to move those gold posts, and she goes, are they that number?
00:34:40.000We told you, read the art of the deal.
00:36:02.000You know, like every negotiation, they can't be wrong and their predictions, their very hopeful predictions, by the way, are always bad for you, the American people.
00:39:16.000Literally, he's on Oprah going, they're ripping us off.
00:39:20.000It's like the left on this issue, they can't think about CNN.
00:39:24.000It's like a cartoon where they're trying to catch Donald Trump and he just jets off and there's only a Trump-shaped cloud where he used to be.
00:42:13.000He said, well, the persecution of Bolsonaro, which we've seen, you know, the former leader there, and the censoring of American voices also in Brazil, you know, they banned Rumble.
00:45:22.000Where would former Vice President Joe Biden or former Vice President Kamala Harris, where would they have ever, ever, objectively gained the experience to negotiate these kinds of deals?
00:45:39.000Nowhere else would you have someone in that position if you believe that international trade negotiations are significant, if you believe they are consequential, nowhere else would you have someone with that complete lack of experience in that position?
00:45:52.000And we've been told, right, Donald Trump can't be president because he has no political experience.
00:46:18.000When you add up South Korea with everything we have, that means that the total investment into the United States from other nations is over $11 trillion.
00:49:13.000It's often not the case with police officers, and it's often not the case with firearms companies out there and how the military handles it therein.
00:49:22.000So this is a big sort of the SIG P320, also known as the M18, which is the official pistol of the Army right now.
00:49:56.000And I just want to be clear because a lot of people have gone out and purchased this before we get to the alleged accidental discharges, before we get to the alleged safety issues here.
00:50:06.000Pistols are almost never used in war, just to be clear.
00:50:09.000And the idea where people go, it's mil-spec, they'll then market to you.
00:50:40.000The only reason I ever carried a pistol was if I was on a base overseas, like in Afghanistan, and I needed a weapon to go to like the PX or the cafeteria.
00:50:52.000And unfortunately, as is often the case with the military, they don't necessarily pick the best tool for the job.
00:50:56.000You automatically, sometimes it has to do with who lobbies the most effectively, who has pre-existing relationships that should be taken into consideration.
00:51:04.000For the longest time, we had the Beretta.
00:51:32.000They just think military, they know what they're doing.
00:51:34.000So many people don't use their weapons.
00:51:35.000They're like they work, you know, they're a clerk or they're a cook or no offense to these people, but they're a mechanic or something like that.
00:51:42.000And they're not using their weapons on a regular basis.
00:51:43.000Then you're like, oh, shit, just hit the fan.
00:51:48.000And in trying to achieve this sort of safety to prevent user error, right?
00:51:52.000A negligent discharge, it seems right now that at the very least, this handgun, SIG, maybe Isn't as effective as far as implementing mechanical safety.
00:52:03.000So, for example, like the Walters that we have or Glocks, they have a trigger safety, they don't have a manual safety, but it also makes it much less likely for this to simply discharge on its own.
00:52:12.000If you're banking on the manual safety because you think people can't operate this properly, you're basically prioritizing the wrong thing.
00:52:18.000So, I would say that's an argument to be made.
00:52:19.000And if you're out purchasing a firearm, you should take this into consideration.
00:52:22.000So, now there's a lot of controversy surrounding this pistol because allegedly, someone in our armed forces had this gun in a holster on a table, didn't touch it, and it went off and killed one of our boys.
00:52:57.000Yeah, they call it the M18 in the military because they're slightly different, but yes.
00:53:01.000This pistol failing drop tests thanks to the internet because people conducted them themselves.
00:53:07.000We found in our testing that the P320 will fire if it is dropped at a certain angle.
00:53:14.000This angle is not found in any of the previously mentioned drop tests.
00:53:19.000If the pistol is allowed to drop with the bore in an upward direction and the frame and the slide contact the ground at the same time, the trigger continues to move to the rear and the pistol will fire.
00:53:33.000Now, I know people will say, well, that's not a reason for the drop.
00:53:37.000They don't do the drop test that way because that could be inertia on the trigger.
00:53:40.000But again, you have plenty of other similar pistols, meaning striker-fired pistols, that wouldn't fail that test.
00:53:48.000So why are we prioritizing these certain parameters?
00:53:51.000That's the question that should be asked here.
00:53:53.000After that, let me give you a timeline.
00:53:54.0002017, the Dallas PD pulled the P320 from their service.
00:53:57.000A bunch of law enforcement agencies beginning in 2018 started polling them while they were still being used, the military variant, by our men and sometimes women fighting for this country abroad.
00:54:10.000And we decided to, because we could go on for hours here.
00:54:14.000We're only including in this montage the clips where you actually see the moment that the weapon discharges and it seems as though no one is touching it or operating it incorrectly.
00:54:28.000This is what has raised some eyebrows.
00:56:04.000A huge portion of them were police in the NYPD who were using revolvers.
00:56:08.000And unfortunately, many of them would run with their fingers on, they'd run their fingers on the trigger of the revolver, which is not advised, but safer if it's a 13, 14-pound pole.
00:56:16.000You do that with a Glock, all of a sudden, bang, accidental discharge.
00:56:18.000Also, you have to pull the trigger on the Glock at that point in time to disassemble it, and people weren't used to it.
00:56:46.000And the only people criticizing us are doing so for profit.
00:56:50.000They even put out a website, p320truth.com, to make their case to the public.
00:56:57.000Now, this brings us to just recently, active duty airman was killed earlier this month when, from what we know, P320 in the holster, on the table, went off, shot him in the chest.
00:57:11.000So there's going to be an investigation.
00:57:43.000But then their email sent on Tuesday, I noticed a word change and many people out there did too.
00:57:49.000And I think it's important to do this because obviously we know that government can avoid accountability and private companies tend, tend to be more correctable than the government because of the free market.
00:58:02.000But they get it wrong sometimes, especially if they feel enabled by the government.
00:58:07.000And SIG has taken the approach, may we remind you that we have this giant $500 million military contract.
00:58:14.000Yeah, but that doesn't affect the safety of the gun.
00:58:15.000So they went to trigger pull newest email.
00:58:18.000The P320 cannot, under any circumstances, discharge without the trigger first being moved to the rear.
00:58:29.000Trigger pull versus moved to the rear.
00:58:34.000That seems like a very conscious choice of language.
00:59:47.000It is one of the safest, most advanced pistols in the world, meeting and exceeding all industry safety standards.
00:59:53.000Its design has been thoroughly tested and validated by the U.S. military, mind you, and law enforcement agencies, mind you, at the federal, state, and local levels.
01:00:02.000Yeah, I don't think that you realize that doesn't mean what you think it means anymore, SIG.
01:00:07.000Plus, those people are reporting issues.
01:00:35.000So we will be sending you, now courtesy of SIG, I have to say this legally, but we will be the ones sending you actually a brand new SIG Sauer M400 Tread.
01:00:45.000It's a sporting semi-auto rifle in the AR-15 family or platform.
01:00:51.000Compliments of SIG because we told them about your scenario.
01:00:54.000They're actually going to, we're going to send it directly to your FFL and they will immediately make the adjustments needed to make it New Jersey compliant, which typically means shear.
01:01:14.000And that's why this is a discussion that needs to take place, especially if they're hiding behind the military, if they're hiding behind law enforcement, and there is something here.
01:01:22.000Because you have people on the left, just to be clear, I mean, they're still arguing about things that don't even exist, like ghost guns.
01:01:28.000So granted, sometimes, Toolman, we know that can be a problem.
01:03:30.000But when you have cops on video repeatedly that have, you know, any jostling action of a weapon that is in the holster, the trigger is untouched, and the gun's just going off, that is what I would call a problem.
01:04:10.000Well, there's a couple of different ways that could happen, but one of them, the one that I think is the most obvious...
01:04:15.000right out the gate, is that the military testing, they've got certain parameters that they test for, and they try to test every handgun to the same standard.
01:04:24.000Those include drop safety tests, but they'll include, you know, hey, it needs to survive X many drops from this angle.
01:04:31.000And if you're not testing the problem angle, then you're not going to see the problematic result.
01:04:37.000And so if this particular gun has an Achilles heel that can't be found by the testing that all the pistols were subjected to, you'd never know it in the trials.
01:04:47.000You wouldn't find that out until a couple of YouTubers start fucking with it.
01:04:55.000The drop testing has been known since 2017, but that's not the only issue right now.
01:05:00.000So this is after, and I know you know this, but for those who are unfamiliar watching, it was a Michigan State Troopers P320 went off.
01:05:06.000The FBI conducted this investigation, and not all of it was redacted.
01:05:11.000So SIG, sometimes I believe, has pointed to this as proof that, see, it's safe, but actually in that report, they said that an uncommanded discharge is possible if sear engagement is lost.
01:05:21.000And by the way, disabling the striker safety lock through movement and friction could warrant further investigation.
01:05:29.000It says a brand new unfired SIG Sauer M18 pistol, which is the military equivalent of 320, was obtained from MSP to determine if the test could be repeated on another weapon.
01:05:38.000On the first attempt, the striker safety lock successfully prevented the striker from impacting the primed case.
01:05:44.000However, on the second attempt, the primed case fired, indicating the striker safety lock failed to stop the striker's forward movement.
01:06:06.000And I've talked to SIG engineers, former SIG engineers, and they know about it.
01:06:11.000Like, this is a thing that the company would never admit, but they've known this as a problem for a while.
01:06:16.000And you can see that with the way that they act publicly, because they did the voluntary upgrade program, where they basically said, our triggers have no problem.
01:06:32.000But if you think that there is an issue, which there's not, you could send it into us voluntarily and we'll fix the issue that doesn't exist.
01:07:06.000And, you know, it's the thing that drives me crazy, because this has been just a really bad week to be a SIG defender, is that there's just so much evidence.
01:07:16.000I mean, there's the lawsuits that have come out that they've tried to say, oh, these are just people that are trying to make a buck.
01:07:21.000One of them included a police officer, a female police officer who shot herself on accident with no fault of her own, didn't pull the trigger, nothing like that.
01:07:30.000Gun goes off in her holster, shoots herself in the femur, shatter.
01:07:36.000And they said that she's an anti-gun grifter now, apparently.
01:07:39.000You have ICE that has released a report that basically they were talking about all the accidental discharges that have happened with all of their service weapons.
01:07:50.000One of them is which pistol it was, vast majority were the P320s.
01:07:55.000And then in the other column, whether or not that incident included injury.
01:07:59.000So they not only said that these things were going off, but there were multiple occasions where they were injuring people that were actively working for ICE.
01:08:08.000So it's just, it's crazy to see this amount of data and be able to say with a straight face, well, clearly there's no problem.
01:08:15.000And I will say this for people who don't necessarily know out there, and I know that you know this, there is a difference between firearms companies that focus on selling directly to consumer and some companies that focus on obtaining those giant military contracts.
01:08:32.000Do you think that this same world exists if SIG doesn't have a $500-plus million dollar military contract where they effectively crap on their customer base?
01:08:43.000No, and I think that could be part of, and this is just speculation on my part, but that could be part of it where if they admit there is a problem with the civilian side stuff, then they have to maybe go in and revert and do a very expensive upgrade, do all their military contract.
01:08:59.000But that's starting to bleed over, apparently, into both, where now it's this problem, which hopefully, and I've mentioned this before, but hopefully this is a big enough deal with this airman unfortunately losing his life that Sig can no longer look the other way and pretend there isn't a problem.
01:10:16.000It's over on YouTube, over on my channel, Brandon Herrera.
01:10:20.000It's about the recent SIG drama, but you could also go back in a couple of months and see some of the other videos I did covering this exact thing because this has been going on for quite some time.
01:10:30.000And some of us have been just shouting from the rooftops: hey, this gun has a problem and it's going to kill somebody.
01:10:35.000And then, unfortunately, here we are, and SIG is continuing to deny it.
01:10:41.000And I want to discuss this with you because I know you know, and it's a very incestuous place, the gun industry.
01:10:46.000A lot of people out there are blissfully unaware that firearms companies, and I'm not saying this necessarily about SIG, are not Necessarily the same people as Second Amendment activists.
01:10:55.000As a matter of fact, there have been many instances of firearms companies turning their proverbial firearm against the people who buy their products and support them.
01:11:04.000And that includes companies, for example, like Smith Wesson, Once Upon a Time, some controversy with Springfield, Bill Ruger.
01:11:10.000So I want to get into that because what really bothers me is people being led by the nose and taken advantage of when they're going out and using their purchasing power in good faith.
