People of Canada, the Great White North, as they call it.
Except it's not so great anymore, is it?
I call it the Great Sad North, because that's what it is.
Sad. On January 20th, I will be slapping huge tariffs on all products coming from your country.
The economic consequences will be devastating, but they don't have to be.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was just with me at Mar-a-Lago.
And I suggested that I would make Canada the 51st state.
It's called Manifest Destiny and it's happening whether you hosers like it or not.
You should have never let us get Alaska.
That was your first mistake.
Makes no sense that you have to drive through Canada to get to America.
Not any longer.
There are a lot of great benefits to joining America.
We have a great military.
The greatest in the world.
You'll be able to move from those awful cold shitholes you live in.
To warm shitholes.
Quebec will no longer be a thing.
You don't like it, you can all move to France.
All Tim Hortons will now become Dunkin' Donuts.
Curling will be banned.
It's a ridiculous sport, if you can even call it that.
As for your precious ice hockey, this will be the hardest part to deal with.
But who said there wouldn't be growing pains?
The American and Canadian national teams will merge.
Say goodbye to your silly little leaf.
Say hello to stars and stripes and bald eagles.
Also for all those celebrities that moved to Canada because I won sucks to be you.

I was going to start with something irritating, something that would piss all of us off, but I figured I might start with the Canadian-American bridge because we're having on today.
If you don't know him, you guys should know him, but it's been a while since Ian has been on.
Runkle of the Bailey.
Ian Runkle.
He's Canadian, eh?
Like me, eh?
Except he's from...
I was going to sever all ties with Quebec and say he's from the good part of Canada.
He is from the Wexit side of Canada.
The side of Canada that, at one point in time, wanted Quebec to separate.
And now, at this point in time...
Wants to separate itself.
He's a firearm aficionado.
I don't know if I'd call him an expert, but I think I would.
I just don't know if he calls himself an expert.
Mr. Runkle of the Bailey, are you ready to come in, sir?
Oh, he gave me a middle finger instead of a thumbs up.
What the hell is...
I'm joking.
How are you doing?
It's been a while.
It's been...
Dude, it has to be over a year almost now.
Yes. You've been absolutely killing it out there.
It is called obsessive compulsive disorder.
It can be very crippling, but also very productive.
Speaking of OCD, Ian, move your chair a little bit more to the...
Yeah, there you go.
There you go.
Beautiful. Ian, for anybody who...
I would be curious to see in the chat.
If anybody in the chat, one for you don't know Ian, two for you do, but Ian, 30,000 foot overview because you're a man of many talents, not the least of which is law, but we're talking more guns than law today.
And the good thing is, I like guns.
Now, you're on YouTube at the moment.
I see, like, both on YouTube and elsewhere.
But that means we can't play with certain things.
But I do have a...
I guess the Canadian-friendly version, which is this.
What happens if you...
I've never had this problem before.
What happens if you show a real gun on YouTube?
On a live stream?
They will nuke your channel.
Don't do that then.
I've never had that question arise before.
You know what I've got?
Because I'm such a polite Canadian, I don't even have a fake gun.
I've got the old form of a gun.
It's a fake arrowhead, but you tie this to a stick, people, and that's how you exercise the Second Amendment back in the day.
I mean, if we want to go old school.
That looks like a sawfish's bill.
That is like...
Little bits of obsidian in a wooden club, so it is a very unpleasant old-school kind of toy.
Ian, okay, so tell everybody who you are.
You're out west.
You're in, if I'm not mistaken, Alberta?
Alberta, yeah.
And I'm a criminal defense and firearms lawyer, so this is kind of what I like to do.
I try to navigate Canada's incredibly dumb firearm laws, which are about to get even dumber if the rumors are true.
Apparently, they can't let an anniversary go without adding more bands.
So, that's coming, apparently.
So, yeah.
For those who don't know, criminal law lawyer, firearm, not just expert, but you do competitions, if people can believe this.
The only way you can own a small arm in Canada is if you're a competitive skeet shooter or whatever.
No, well, they...
So for getting new handguns, they've restricted it, and they can't even allow the...
They've said that you can't even buy a new one if you shoot competitively unless you're like an Olympian.
So buying new handguns has been banned in Canada.
And I shoot competitively, but not well.
I've got to make the joke, though.
Unless you're an Olympian, who was the guy with the fake legs who was an Olympian who shot his wife, or allegedly?
Historious! Pistorius.
Great rule, idiot Canadian government.
There's already been more Olympians who have allegedly murdered their girlfriends than not.
Nate, the lawyers in the house, we're going to get to all of this.
I'm going to keep this one up here.
They got a clean picture of the guy.
I saw it.
He's got good teeth, actually.
He put messages on the shell casings.
We're going to get to that as well because that dispels one of the theories that was going around.
So you are highly proficient with firearms.
I mean, I'm not like John Wick.
I am mostly proficient with firearm law, but I'm familiar with guns, and I have to research the heck out of them and play around with them and so forth, because if you get a guy who's charged with having something, you need to understand it better than the firearms expert that they bring in to try to convict your client or to take his guns away.
So I do spend a lot of time on this.
But I'm not always the best shooter.
I don't have time for that as much.
We're going to get into some of the details here because I don't know.
I fired a shotgun.
I know how you clear the barrel of a shotgun and it's manual and then it puts the next one in, pops the next shell out.
Let's start with where this actually started yesterday.
The video that I had to make sure was legit video was alleged video.
Oh, you don't get that.
It won't let me play it on Incognito.
So I'll have to go get the actual video.
Let me do this here.
It's interesting.
Obviously, the video is restricted on Twitter because it won't play it in incognito.
Everybody knows now the news has gone wild viral that the CEO of UnitedHealth was reported.
I was doing a show with the Unusual Suspects yesterday, and it was breaking while we were live shooting, pun intended, in the morning.
It wasn't clear that it was a vagrant, allegedly, at first.
And then they said, no, it wasn't a vagrant.
And then he had a suppressor.
Vagrant with a suppressor?
No. So it's clearly, at this point, targeted.
The only question is whether or not it's an amateur, an individual who has a personal gripe, someone who is hired.
But the video was released yesterday.
And I'm going to pull it up right now.
And lots of people had theories about it.
Fair warning, it's graphic in that it's showing you someone who's actually getting shot, although you see nothing, which makes it even more cryptic, in a sense.
The casualness, the banality of evil.
For anybody who's gone looking for terrible things on the internet, the worst ones are really the ones that look...
Almost fake in their simplicity.
But this is the video, and then we're going to get into what the questions were that people had.
An individual there.
Okay. So everybody's seen this by now, and I guess the question is what the hell is going on with the gun?
Yeah. So bringing it back here, it looks like not a sniper pistol.
It clearly looks like for anybody.
You're looking at this, Ian.
You've seen many guns and many small arms.
You would know that this is a pistol with a suppressor on it, of sorts?
Yeah. I mean, it's either got a suppressor or a fake suppressor, but by the reports, it seems to have been a real suppressor.
Sometimes people put fakes on, but this looks to be a real one, and that's entirely consistent.
And not a possibility that it's just a longer-barreled small arm?
I don't think so.
I mean, just...
All indications are that this is a suppressor and, you know, suppressors are available.
Either people buy them or they make them.
Like, it's not too difficult to get, you know, and they're sold illegally online and so forth.
There's lots of possibilities as to how we'd have it.
The one thing that isn't a possibility is there's a bunch of people who thought it was either a Wellrod or a VP9.
Stop and explain what each of those things are.
So, basically, the Wellrod was a sort of purpose-built sort of assassination or quiet killing gun that is a little bolt-action suppressed pistol.
And people were like, ooh, this is really interesting.
And the VP9 is kind of a clone or a successor of it.
And the thing is that it's not...
This is not what we're looking at.
And the reason why we know this is because the well rod is a bolt action.
You know, it's got to be manually cycled, but also it's a particular kind of action.
And what you can see in that video is that as he fires it, there's that puff of gas, and that puff of gas cannot be a well rod or a VP9.
That's inconsistent with how they function.
My paintball gun up in Canada.
So we're going to have the mechanism.
Okay, bolt action.
I mean, I know what that is, but let's just really dumb it down for everybody.
Bolt action is what Lee Harvey Oswald was alleged to have used in a rifle to shoot JFK.
I mean, it's a very common kind of action for firearms, less so for handguns.
But, you know, when you see the guy with the rifle who fires and then up, back in, you know, the bolt.
Is manually cycled.
It's a form of manual action, as opposed to, you know, most handguns, which, and this is airsoft, so it's, you know...
With a pink tip, everybody!
Well, the clear is the bigger indicator, but when you fire it, the actual, either the gases or the recoil, you know, causes the slide to, you know, slide back, and then in the process, it ejects one round, chambers another, and then it's ready to go.
So each time you fire it, The operation of the gun resets it so that you can just pull the trigger again without having to take any steps yourself.
That's the semi-automatic.
Whereas the bolt action, you fire it, and then you have to operate it.
And you see that the gun he's got isn't a bolt action because a bolt action doesn't open up when you fire it, and it wouldn't have the gases coming out to the back there.
You see that little puffy smoke.
There. Okay, so now it's interesting.
So you can tell something.
From where the puff of gas is coming out?
Hypothetically, I'm an idiot and I'll ask the stupid questions.
If there's a suppressor, presumably it's somewhere around where the cursor is, why would the gas not be coming out of there, but rather the back?
Well, you take gas out the front, but out the back, what's happening is you've got the semi-auto, and then as it slides back, you get gas coming out of here.
Okay. And so that's what you're seeing.
But the bolt action, when you fire it, it doesn't slide back like that.
It stays closed up.
And so the gas doesn't escape there until you, like, nothing can escape until you actually operate that action yourself.
And so what we're seeing isn't a bolt action firearm.
It's a semi-auto that is not functioning right.
And the reason why it's not functioning right is because he's got a suppressor on it, but he hasn't set up his suppressor properly.
He doesn't have a Nielsen device or a booster.
What is a Nielsen device?
I saw that word floating around.
I looked it up.
I had never heard of it before, but I'm not into this stuff.
What is a Nielsen device?
So it's unfortunate that I can't show you with an actual firearm because I've got one nearby that I otherwise would.
But when you add a suppressor to it, you're both changing the gas system to it, but you're also changing the weighting.
You're putting a whole lot of weight on this barrel, and it makes it difficult for the thing to properly cycle.
And if it doesn't cycle, then you'll see the gun firing in the same way that it does in this video.
That's what's going on.
But the device compensates for that and gives it some additional power to complete the cycle, notwithstanding the fact that the suppressor is there.
The Nielsen device, so that would mean that it provides enough backward gas pressure to pop the shell out of the Out of the gun and cycle it with a new one?
Properly reset.
So the slide goes all the way back, a new shell, like it ejects the old shell, new shell goes in, and basically lets it function like, you know, like it should, right?
Like any other...
Is the Nielsen device something...
Does the Nielsen device sort of, like, push back the...
What's the word I'm looking for for this piece right here?
The slide.
It's just sort of additional pressure, yeah.
Okay, interesting.
And that then allows it to...
It assists with the cycle.
Okay, and then the cycle means to properly clear the casing from within the...
What's the word for the shaft where the bullet goes through?
The barrel?
So, clear the case from the chamber.
From the chamber.
And then, you know, it ejects.
And then the magazine will have additional cartridges sort of pushing up this way.
It slides a new one into the chamber.
And then everything is ready to fire again.
Okay, so...
This, the gentleman, the alleged assassin, the assassin, we just don't know who he is, did not have, you would see a Nielsen device on it, or a Nielsen device would be sort of, you wouldn't necessarily be able to see it.
You wouldn't see it, but the reason why we can tell he doesn't have, like, that it's not properly set up is because you can see him when he fires it, instead of just fire, fire, fire, he's having to do that manual cycling, right?
When you see that.
And that is to pull back the slide to allow the casing to pop out for the next chamber to pop up.
Yeah. So that's why he's doing the fire manual cycle.
And then you see that he actually, his second shot doesn't fire at all.
He apparently pulls the trigger.
And then it looks like at that point he's struggling with it.
So, this to me, it's, a lot of people are like, oh yeah, he did this intentionally, and I'm going, that's not what it looks like to me.
Before we even get there, because this is another portion of the discussion that I heard a lot about yesterday that I sort of could somewhat understand, is the subsonic versus, do we call them supersonic rounds?
Yeah. Okay, speed of sound is what, 800 and something miles an hour?
I can look it up.
So, the bottom line, what is the distinction between a subsonic and supersonic round in terms of practicality?
Is it noise, accuracy, power, distance, all of the above?
I mean, supersonic, of course, is going faster, so it's going to have more power, but the reason why somebody might choose a subsonic round is that supersonic things have a sound to them, right?
You think of breaking the sound barrier, well...
So it's got a distinctive crack to it.
And the thing is, right now there's reports that he might have been using Subsonics, but I haven't seen those confirmed.
I don't think we actually know that at this point.
And it's not going to be a...
I don't think it's going to matter all that much for his purposes, so I'm not sure.
Okay, and just so I can either look smart or stupid here, speed of sound is about 800 miles an hour, depending on the air temperature.
So a subsonic round obviously will have less...
It won't be, I mean, I guess, not less lethal on a short term, but it won't have the same distance accuracy over time.
Yeah, it's got less...
Less force to it.
It's just less fast, so it...
You know, it's going to fall off quicker, and it's also going to have less lethality, although at those distances, it'll be plenty lethal.
And of course, you know, regardless.
But the idea, like a subsonic round, do people get them?
I'm going to ask a stupid question.
Are they noticeably less crack loud than a supersonic, and is there a rationale for why people get them?
To commit a crime quieter, or is it just a cheaper round for specifically a use where you need less accuracy?
There are times where you might get it because it's quieter.
I mean, they're commonly available.
It's not like this is some super difficult thing to get.
You can just go and buy this at your gun shop.
They're not hard to get.
But, yeah, they're...
They're commonly available.
I've seen people use them, for instance, to shoot small game and just be like, okay, yeah, I don't need as much impact for the small game, but avoid the little tiny sonic boom there.
Okay. And the other question then was, as relates to the relevance for that distinction in this discussion, was the argument or was the idea that if it were supersonic or not subsonic that it would have Provided enough gas power to eject itself from the...
I lost the name of the word again.
It could be either.
So we don't know from those videos whether it's supersonic or subsonic rounds.
We'll find that out when they actually go and test the rounds and go, oh, this is what they are.
So we'll find that out later.
And the reporting of the day is that he left three unspent or three live rounds, which had three words in it, deny, defend, deport.
What I've seen is that that was written on shell casings as opposed to on the live rounds.
Or it was written on both.
It looks like the reason why there's live rounds there is it looks like he's actually struggling with the gun.
And because he's having trouble with it, he's cycling it more than it...
Like he's sitting there and he's...
Futzing with it.
And each time he's doing that, he might be spalling off live rounds, which again doesn't say like super competent professional assassin.
It says guy who's having some trouble with his gun.
Okay, that's it.
So I thought at least when I had read it initially that it was on live rounds which were left there, which I thought was when they were saying he's trying to leave the sign.
I thought that was idiotic because he's quite clearly trying to leave something.
So here it says make a statement.
I love it.
It's either to make a statement or throw off police.
Congratulations on saying the only two things that it could be.
But it looks like it was on...
See, here.
Deny, depose, defend were written on live rounds.
Oh, live rounds and casings.
Okay. Yeah.
We don't know for sure.
I suspect what it is is he probably just had a mag full of things he'd written on.
And because he's struggling with the gun, like the first shot, he's going to...
Like he fires and the first shot goes off.
And then he cycles it so you get a casing out.
And then he tries to fire, and it doesn't actually appear to fire, and he cycles it, so that'll be a live round popping out.
And so, if he's written those on, like, his first few shots, then you're going to get a mix of the live and the casings, just because he's fighting with the gun.
Interesting. But it doesn't look, you know, it doesn't look like he intentionally, like, dropped some or something like that.
Not like pulling a dexter, leaving a strand of hair or a blood drop or something.
Yeah. If they were not subsonic, if they were supersonic...
Is that the word for the supersonic?
Because I can only think of that crappy band from the 90s when I say supersonic.
I mean, supersonic or just, you know...
Yeah, supersonic is a perfectly decent way to go there, yeah.
If he had been using supersonic ammunition, would that have resolved the problem of...
It's not called a jam, it wasn't cycling properly.
Would that have resolved the issue created by the compressor?
No. The compressor.
Yeah, no.
I mean, it...
It might have helped, but he needed a Nielsen device, and I don't know if he just bought a suppressor and didn't realize that was a thing, or if he bought something cheap off of...
There's various sites that sell things that are like fuel filters, and that might have been his problem, or he might have 3D printed something.
We just don't know here.
But it's consistent with either.
Does a suppressor reduce kickback?
You mean the recoil?
Yes. Sorry.
Bring it back up, not because I enjoy watching this or any more sinister reason.
The question is, is he professional or amateur?
I've never had any experience with this.
By not panicking and not losing, you know, not being thrown off when it doesn't cycle correctly.
Yeah, you see, he cycles it fairly quickly, and I think he's just shot guns a lot, right?
He feels the gun doesn't cycle, and so he immediately goes to do that manually.
He's somebody who's clearly had some proficiency with guns, because I've seen other videos where guys, they buy a gun and it's their first time.
And they go and they have some sort of jam or misfire or they haven't even properly chambered around.
They just inserted the magazine.
And they're just like, I don't know what to do.
And they end up running away.
That's not this guy.
He fires.
He feels.
People have said that he expected it.
I don't think he expects it.
But I think he feels that it's failed to cycle.
He cycles it manually.
Tries firing again.
It doesn't fire, and that might be because he's failed to properly cycle it, or, you know, it's not entirely clear what's going on, but this is a guy who might have some military experience, might spend some range time, might have police experience, but, like, this is not, you know, Agent 47. This is not, you know, this guy, and a lot of the sort of theories on this were, like, that grounded this turned out not to be true.
People said, oh, He's a professional, and they were theorizing that he was saving his brass.
And it's like, well, no, he's not actually policing his brass to keep from leaving that.
He left it all over the place.
And we find out now he intended to leave it there.
Because why write things on it if you're not planning on leaving the brass behind?
Can you imagine this woman right here just wanted to have a cup of coffee, smoke a cigarette, and, I mean, wild.
It's really considerate that he's got the suppressor on because that's probably helping her hearing a lot.
Just to the person in the chat who said two Canadians talking about weapons.
First of all, we call them firearms.
I learned my lesson on that.
Ian, I would venture to say knows as much if not more than most Americans.
He's not your typical Canadian.
And I just got approved for a permit to get, amongst other things, like full auto.
I'm trying to decide which of the fun guns should be the first.
I might end up buying a VP9 though just for this because it's a really expensive gun.
So I don't know if I want one.
VP9 gun.
Did I see what this looks like?
It looks exactly like the Wellrod.
It's for Veterinary Pistol 9. You need to put B and T. So B is in Bravo.
B and T. B and...
We'll get this eventually.
And then put VP9.
Nope. Put in VP9 as well.
There you go.
Not knowing anything, in order for this to be legal in Canada, it has to be limited to five, or is it ten rounds for a small arm?
This thing is just not legal in Canada unless you've got a very special license that's very difficult to get.
But this is based off the well rod.
And they developed this.
It's called the Veterinary Pistol 9. It's not because they were kidding around.
They developed this for veterinary use.
They thought that this would be good for putting down animals.
And then it turned out other people wanted to buy them too.
So they're like, oh, okay then.
So I'm sorry.
I thought it was a veteran pistol, not a veterinary pistol.
So they created this thing to euthanize kitty cats and dogs.
Probably larger, but yeah.
You know, it's like if your horse needs to be put down, they could use that.
So, yeah.
Let's see.
I'm just going to go to a tweet by...
Jack Posobiec.
This is going to...
People say this is a sign of being amateur.
To me, this is brazen and this dude might be far out of the country by now.
I'm wondering if this is going to have foreign connections to foreign governments of countries.
My theory on this one is that this guy is just...
This guy's just a guy with a grudge.
But I don't know that they've got the right picture there.
The guy, when you see the actual video, his backpack is very light-colored.
And this guy's got a very dark-colored backpack.
Yeah, I noticed that as well.
But this, I mean, it's a good question.
When he would have gotten a second backpack?
This is clearly not after.
It's interesting.
These are coming from Crimestoppers.
I'd like Jack's tweet on it.
Yeah, my prediction thus far is...
That it was someone who is either denied coverage or had some issue with the company, personally or immediately within, and was sitting there just waiting to get revenge on the person he thought was responsible for it.
But we'll see.
That's my theory as well.
And the other thing is people really underestimate how difficult it is to actually hire some sort of...
Like, the really professional killers exist, but you're not going to hire one.
And if you think you've found one, you've almost certainly found somebody who works with us.
Their paychecks have a three-letter agency written on them.
Let me see if there's any breaking news.
It's interesting.
There's another picture now out of Fox, which looks radically different than the one that we just saw from Jack's tweet.
This doesn't even look like The picture that we just saw a moment ago from Twitter.
Yeah, I...
I don't know.
It's... Often in sort of the early hours after something like this, they don't necessarily...
People don't necessarily get the best info.
This feels like it might be a we-did-it-reddit kind of moment.
Yeah. Compare people.
I mean, there's...
Okay, maybe it is the same.
This is the one that was apparently from Crime Stoppers.
And just toggle back to the one on Fox News.
Remember the distinctive features.
I mean, maybe there's sufficient similarities of the...
Dude, this is going to be wild.
Okay, so there's nothing else.
Any more hypothesizing that it was deliberate so that he could pick up the shells.
If you were to take a shell...
By hand, immediately out of the barrel, after being fired, it's going to be...
How long does it take before you can touch it without burning yourself?
I mean, pretty quickly.
The casings themselves lose heat very fast.
And I mean, you might sort of go, ah, ah, and then put it in a pocket, but it's not a...
It's not sort of a...
You can get burned by them, usually if the case ends up...
Usually when people get burns, it's because they, for instance, wear an open shirt, and if the case drops in and is sort of held against skin, it can cause a burn there.
But they lose heat very quickly.
But I don't think he was trying to...
It looks like he was intending to leave the cases behind, right?
If he's writing things on them, either he's writing that for himself, which, again, would be very odd for any sort of professional and very odd for anybody.
Or he was figuring that the cases get left behind and he's trying to send a message, right?
This is a guy who's picked a very, very public place to do it.
I mean, you think he could have followed him in and just followed him onto the elevator?
You know, hey, what floor?
Pop. He did this on the street.
He... Yeah.
So... We got caps locked over here, over on Rumble.
Says... I don't think he's a pro, but then there was a second part where he said he wasn't catching shells, he was racking.
And I think we discussed that.
Racking is clearing the path for the next bullet.
Yeah, pulling the slide back, and yeah.
I mean, the common failure clearing drill is tap, rack, bang.
And the tap is tap to the base to seat the magazine in case the magazine's not properly seated.
Rack to cycle the action.
And then bang, of course, is pull the trigger again.
So we see him just, but we see him very proficiently and very quickly go, you know, and like rack the action, cycle the action, and then try again.
But we also see after the sort of initial thing, there's this phase where he's sort of, you know, thumping the gun and he's racking it repeatedly.
That's not somebody who is expecting the gun to need to be manually cycled.
Because a lot of people have said...
Oh, he might have intentionally tuned this to not cycle, and this might have been on purpose.
And, I mean, some of those people are based on some errors, but...
Yeah, I mean, we've got a thing saying that he might have been using a slide-lock device, except he wasn't, because you wouldn't see the gases escaping if he was locking the slide.
And the other thing is, if he was locking the slide, you wouldn't see him fighting with it there.
The other thing is the whole idea of, like, the well rod and so forth is a bolt-action gun, partially because it was intended for situations where you might need, like, extreme quiet.
And what I mean by extreme quiet is you're sneaking up on a sentry at a, like, a guard post or something, and you need to shoot somebody, and you need to have the guy who's 20 feet away not realize something has happened, right?
Just that, you know, then...
But that's not what we're talking about here.
He's on city streets.
Guns make noise in a whole lot of different ways.
The explosion of the actual firing the bullet, firing the cartridge, you get that burst of gases and that creates its own sort of sound wave.
You also have the travel of the bullet.
That's where the supersonic versus subsonic matters.
You have the impact of the bullet because...
You know, you throw something, it's going to make a noise.
Like, you know, I just threw something and you heard it impact, right?
You didn't hear it fly, you didn't hear the throw, but you hear the impact.
And what is it?
It's not a situation where, but you also get noise from the actual action of the gun itself.
And so...
But the thing is, that's not a hugely loud noise.
It is a noise, and so if you're trying to be super stealthy, you don't want somebody a distance away to notice, that's one thing.
But in a city, if you get a metal slapping noise, nobody's going to know what that is.
He's in front of a woman doing it right in front of a woman who he clearly knew was there.
So stealth was...
Maybe the idea...
Was that quiet enough to get about a minute head start so that he can change clothes, which he presumably had in his backpack?
And if it's too loud, then it'll cause a scene.
I think he's hoping that the police don't get called right away.
And so if the police...
If nobody knows what the noise is, then maybe the police don't get called for a few minutes and he's got a little bit of time.
But the thing is, nobody's calling the police over just generic gun noises, right?
The noise of metal on metal in a city, nobody's going to know what that is.
Nobody's going to call the police right away over that.
If I was planning this out, I would not care about that.
I would want the gun to function properly as a semi-auto.
Apparently, one of the bullets went...
He was shot in the calf, so it's really not like...
He didn't lose sight of the target, but it wasn't exactly the four or three or four best shots.
You addressed this, but Bobby Chacon, FBI, suggested shooter was using an SLV slide lock device to keep shots quiet.
Gun possibly didn't jam from Fox.
I don't think he was using a slide lock device because you wouldn't get the big puff of gas from the back if the slide is locked in place because then it's functioning more like a bolt action.
I just...
I don't think...
And you see him struggling with the gun.
You see him...
That's not a guy who is like, this is going as planned.
That looks very much like a guy who just didn't have...
Like, the gun wasn't working the way he expected.
I think this is a guy who's used to guns.
He's proficient with guns.
He's spent time on the range.
He might have military, police, etc.
But then...
He's attached a suppressor, and he's just expecting the suppressor to work the way a gun normally works.
And he's like, this is not great.
I mean, it still works for him, but it's not any of that.
The other thing is the calf shot.
I'm betting the calf shot was there's a moment where the guy's lying on the ground, and he's got his legs sort of up, trying to kind of defend himself, although that doesn't really work against firearms.
You know, I think that he was being shot like the shot at that point is probably what hit him in the leg.
But I don't know for certain.
We haven't seen any of that yet.
Why stop under a well-lit awning?
I mean, he was tracking the guy, so he doesn't control where the guy goes in terms of doing this.
But now, hold on.
There was over...
Ian, you're not a sensitive person, but Ganthet over on Local says, I'll put any redneck from Alabama against Runkle's knowledge of firearms any day.
That being said, it doesn't...
But people don't know, up in Canada, the Alabama of Canada sort of is Alberta.
Now I'm going to get in trouble in two countries.
We're often described as sort of the Texas of Canada.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's the Wild West as you get west of Ontario.
That being said, Doesn't make that knowledge exclusive to Americans, and Runkle knows his stuff, being from Canada or not.
Sammy says, I don't know if someone was angry about coverage.
I think they would want to make this guy know what he was responsible for before he was killed.
I'm not an investigator, but I do watch a lot of Law& Order while doom-scrolling.
That's from Sammy.
Coddlefish says, I didn't know John Cusack was a gun expert.
Do you get John Cusack?
I know you get the joke.
One of the ones people come up with.
Also, Brent Spiner from Independence Day.
Elf. I was going to bring up Gandalf.
That's the one that I've seen people make, but I don't have my Gandalf pictures in the backdrop anymore.
What was I going to say?
It's, I say, fascinating from a sinister perspective, and we'll get more news as it breaks.
What's going on in Canada, Runkle, about Canadian gun laws, Dan?
So the last news that I heard, it was the outright ban freeze on any form of transfer, sale, purchase of small arms.
Just handguns.
Handguns, okay.
So small arms is, you know, you can still buy rifles and so forth.
But they basically banned the transfer of handguns.
And this is really awful for, for instance, people who...
Their grandfather dies and they've got a handgun collection.
It's like, well, you can't inherit any of that.
So there's that.
The other thing that...
So they banned 1,500 models of firearms, which then turned into, you know, 2,000 models and so forth.
But... You know, and that includes the AR-15 and a bunch of other things, but they apparently let slip in Parliament that they're planning on banning a whole bunch more things, and it looks like the plan for that is the anniversary of the École Polytechnique.
Killing here?
That was the massacre in Montreal, which was two kilometers from, three kilometers from where I used to live.
There's a deep dive, untold hush-hush story about that in terms of who the gunman was.
Ethnic-wise, where there was a whole business of covering up exactly what might have motivated that slaughter of women in particular.
But set aside all of that, that was the, I think it was 14 women, 1988, give or take.
Is it 25 years?
35, I believe.
I mean, I was 25. I would have been conscious.
No, so that was Ecole Polytechnique.
It was 1989.
89. Yes, I was 10 years old when that happened.
And the ban of 1500, that was under the dark of COVID after the New Brunswick, a Nova Scotia mass murder.
Yeah. So, they'd clearly been waiting for it, because they had that ready to go, and they just dropped it, like, immediately.
And they also said, hey, listen, we're not going to, you know, we're not going to, or they pressured for release of some information, they pressured the police, they interfered with the investigation in order to support that.
So, yeah.
Alright, that's good.
And so what have you been working on these days now?
What are you covering?
Well, right now I'm just sort of covering...
I haven't been following a trial right now, but I have been looking at sort of odd things and here and there.
There's a self-defense case that I'm just sort of polishing up a video on.
I did a video review or discussion with Canadian law of something called the Burna, which is this...
It shoots ceramic pellets.
Like a ceramic ball?
I won't...
I'm not sure I could hear...
That's the...
I've got a burner.
I actually use it for target for fun shooting in the back, and it shoots pepper spray pellets, hard projectiles.
In Canada, they can't shoot the pepper spray pellets because there's law to restrict those, but it shoots these little hard pellets.
And I don't think it's a good self-defense thing.
It is...
Yeah. Ian, these are contraband in Canada.
You know what?
One of them is actually leaking.
I'll clean that up afterwards.
Illegal in Canada because pepper spray is illegal in Canada.
And basically any form of self-defense is illegal in Canada.
The concussive pellets.
I mean, I've never been hit by them.
I imagine it hurts a lot more than a paintball.
But it's not going to knock somebody out if it hits them in the forehead.
It's not going to knock them out, but it'll leave a great big bruise.
And because the Canadian test involves does it puncture an eyeball, I actually had to test it with pig eyes.
So in the video, I shoot pig eyes, and it actually punctures eyeballs really good.
So does the freaking slingshot, for goodness sake.
So what's the legal question with Berna?
Whether or not they're good for self-defense or whether or not they're legal up in Canada?
Well, you can buy them legally, but the question is, what can you do with it?
You can't, for instance, tuck it into your jacket to walk around.
You can't even put it in a holster to carry around.
So you're not able to do much with it.
You can have it for home self-defense, but it also has a critical design flaw.
Go on.
Like, those magazines that you've got for it, you know how they've got that little spring armature on it?
Okay, inside?
So, just at the top, that little arm at the top there.
Not the follower there, but yeah, that thing.
So, that thing gets bumped really easily.
And so, if you have a spare magazine in your pocket, the chance that you're going to have rounds in that spare magazine when you actually need them is zero.
Because if you've got it stuffed in there, it's going to get pressed.
And even just, like, you know...
With your thumb, it pops out all five before you can even lock it back.
Yeah. And so you can't, like, carry that, you know, extra magazine in your pocket because it'll just eject into your, you know, into your pocket.
And even just trying to reload it under time pressure, like, I set myself a time pressure, and when you go to reload it...
If you don't slam it in perfectly, if it just catches the edge just a little bit, it just...
And now you're...
And the thing is, is Berna offers a solution to this, which is basically these hard plastic condoms that you slide over top of the magazines.
But that still doesn't help the reloading under pressure, and it'll slow down the reloading under pressure quite a bit.
So, yeah, it's a problem.
I thought they were actually...
I didn't think burner was even available in Canada, even with the non-pepper spray balls, which are illegal.
I was looking at one point in time back in Canada, the salt.
I think it's called the salt gun.
The bug assault?
No, I think it was called the salt.
I'll see if I can find an image of it.
I didn't think any of these things were illegal because you're specifically not allowed buying anything for the specific purpose of...
You can buy things for the purpose of self-defense.
You can't carry them for the purpose of self-defense.
And they also ban a ton of things.
You can't carry anything for purposes dangerous to the public peace.
And they've said that self-defense against the ordinary dangers of the world.
They've said that that's dangerous to the public peace.
Like this old grandmother.
Who just doesn't want to be robbed?
She's dangerous to the public peace if she's got that.
And I'm just like, that makes no sense to me.
But that's the way the laws are.
But I mean, you know, this is a weapon, right?
It was designed, I mean, I guess it was probably designed as an art piece, but it's legal for me to own.
But I couldn't carry this around for self-defense purposes.
It's the old joke that if you carry a baseball bat in the trunk of your car, you better have a glove and a ball.
Otherwise, it goes from sports to criminality.
And you also better know what to say and what not to say to police.
Because what usually...
What happens to people a lot is they're found...
They've got a little pocket knife.
And they take the pocket knife and they get...
They get some sort of police involvement, and the officer says, why do you have this?
And they say, well, it's a bad neighborhood.
And now they've just admitted to a crime.
Whereas if they say, none of your business, officer, then it's going to be very difficult for them to get convicted.
So sometimes it's a matter of what you say and what you don't say.
And similarly, if you're like, why do you have this?
It's like, well, because I like to open packages.
They're super useful.
You're probably in a much better spot.
So I always say the safest thing to say is nothing at all because they can't hold your not saying anything against you.
And if you say anything, then they can try to contradict that.
They can argue it.
So, yeah.
Ordinarily, I'd say that not saying anything, they can't incriminate you.
Up in Canada, Ian, it seems that they can't.
Have you followed the Laura Southern, Lauren Chen, Russiagate parliamentary inquiry?
I thought she did pretty well with the...
I saw some of her testimony.
I thought she did pretty well.
Lauren Southern.
Yeah. The problem is going into parliament, you're going to face questions that are just purely motivated.
So, yeah.
It's targeted.
It's embarrassing to watch because once you know that it's an absolute joke, and you see, Lauren Chen went in and basically pleaded the Canadian Fifth.
She had an intro statement which basically said that there's no equivalent under Canadian law of the Fifth Amendment, but there is something that works similarly under the Constitution in terms of self-incrimination.
So you can be...
You can be compelled to testify in certain circumstances, but the evidence you give can't be used against you.
But she does also have a right to sort of not have to be a witness against herself.
And so I didn't actually watch her testimony.
I'd have to see sort of how...
No, she gave a statement.
It was a five or seven minute statement written.
It was very well drafted.
It laid out the legality saying, you've summoned me here.
I've got basically nothing to say, but I'm going to plead the equivalent of the fifth.
And then said, I repeat my intro statement throughout.
But the scumbags of parliamentarians were like, the questions, Ian, they weren't just loaded.
They were bullshit loaded.
But when Lauren Southern was there...
Lauren Southern, I watched the entire hearing more than once, and I'm like, if I were playing scoundrel or devil's advocate, what could I snip and clip out of context to try to make Lauren Southern look bad?
And I couldn't find anything.
I think she did.
It was amazing, but it's just an absolute joke that they've taken that tenant media indictment of Russia television in America and turned it into a Canadian scandal.
And if you want to see something else that is, you know, entertaining pushback...
There's the parliamentary hearings on whether or not they should fund the CBC.
And they had the, I think it was the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
They had a woman there and they're trying to trip her up and they're like, so what about like Rebel News?
Do you think they should be funded?
She's like, no.
It's like, what?
I said no funding for media.
Like, nobody.
They're like, but you've been on True North News.
You know, what about them?
She's like, did I stutter?
They were expecting to trip her up on that.
There's so many parliamentary hearings.
When has this one started or taking place?
It was a little bit ago.
If you look around, you'll probably be able to find clips of it.
I can try to track it down and send that.
I'd love to watch it.
Hold on.
It was the funding of the media, the Russia stuff.
Oh, there was something else that I was going to get into that was purely Canadian, but now I can't remember what it was.
It'll come back in a second.
Are you following in the Daniel Penny trial?
Only a little bit.
From what I've seen, I'm just like, why are they, you know...
I've seen that the guy was alive for a fair bit of time after the confrontation, and then he died some time after that.
That's like, okay, that kind of suggests not an issue.
But also, this guy was really kind of a menace.
And, you know, you just...
It's funny because we're just talking about polytechnique and one of the things people say about polytechnique is why did none of the men in the room, because the guy, the sort of killer, ordered the men out and they left and then he started shooting women.
They say, like, why did none of the men do anything?
And it's like, well, what happens when somebody does something?
They either get shot or they end up getting, you know, or they may face charges.
It's... I don't know, if I was getting, like, attacked on a subway or harassed or whatever else, I might want somebody to stand up, because I'm not allowed to carry a gun, and, you know, and I'm not a big guy, so I might want somebody to, but I don't want them to go to jail forever for doing it.
There was that case in New York where a guy pulled out a gun when a woman was getting mugged, fired a warning shot, and then the criminal scurried off and the woman actually said, I'm glad he intervened, but I would have rather he not use the firearm.
Next time you're getting robbed.
This was another one about the Daniel Penny.
I don't know who's a troll on Twitter and who's not.
You know, you go down these rabbit holes and End Wokeness says, Daniel Penny is a hero who saved the lives of countless passengers in New York.
Pray for a complete acquittal.
To which somebody replies, Daniel Penny killed an unarmed homeless black man who hadn't hurt anyone on that train.
On that train.
And I read it, I'm like, oh my, if you don't know of the guy's history, you'll just read it.
He hadn't hurt anyone on that train.
If you know the guy's history, you're going to understand the sneakiness of that little weasel bastard word on that train because he had hurt other people on other trains.
Everybody knows this, but 42 arrests on charges, including petty larceny, nobody cares.
Jumping the subway, nobody cares.
Theft, eh, getting there.
And three unprovoked attacks, assaults on women in the subway between 2019 and 2021.
But no, on that train, on that day, he hadn't yet hurt anybody, so Daniel Penny should go to jail for second-degree manslaughter, whatever the charges are.
It looks like, from what I can see in the news, it looks like it's heading towards a potential hung jury, how it wouldn't be, you know.
And if the prosecution's smart, if they get the hung jury, they just say, well, you know, it doesn't make sense to retry it.
It's so expensive.
To try these things.
Like, it'll just be so much money.
Let's just let it go.
Did you hear this?
I mean, this is where you're like, you don't know what I want to get from a source that no one's going to complain about.
Eh, Fox News is not going to be the best.
Eric Adams, yesterday or the day before, defending it, Daniel Penny.
So I don't, you know, it's like, I know.
Eric, let me see what he said.
That's the crossover I didn't expect.
Well, that and, you know, telling the illegals to get out and siding with Homan to help him.
Let me see here.
Eric Adams appeared to defend the Marine veteran charged in the death of Jordan Neely.
Daniel, what did Eric Adams say?
That's what we want to get to here.
We're now on a subway.
Did he see?
Oh yeah, here we go.
We're now on the subway where we're hearing someone talking about hurting people, killing people, Adam said on November 30th episode of the Rob Astorino show.
You have someone, Penny, on that subway who is responding, doing what we should have done as a city.
Those passengers were afraid.
Apparently, the closing arguments went very well, or at least were compelling in that the defense is what would you have done if you had a loved one?
What would you want someone to do if you had a loved one on that metro train or that subway car?
And that's the thing, is everybody's got, like, you know, a kid who has to take the subway, or, you know, a wife, a mother, you know, grandfather.
You know, you're thinking there's all sorts of people who, you know, who can't stand up for themselves, who are really hoping that somebody will, and how do you...
How does anybody say, I'm going to be the guy who steps up and helps people?
Because you never know, right?
There's tons of cases of manslaughter here in Canada that are just like, somebody gives one punch and it turns out to be lethal.
Well, that's the supreme...
I just brought this one up.
It says, all it took was Trump winning.
That's the catalyst.
The new trajectory of the world.
I forget which Rogan podcast it was on where they were talking about...
Might have been Andreessen talking about the new trajectory of the world when Trump miraculously evaded that bullet at the last second.
What was I just about to say, though?
Oh, and the conspiracy theories around that one, too.
The people who were like, oh, that was intentional.
And I'm going...
Man, no.
See, the intentional and they intended to clip his ear is next level stupid.
The next level crazy is it was a blood packet.
His ear was never injured.
And he's such a vicious bastard that he actually allowed for the murder of Corey Comprator.
That was real.
Trump is so sinister.
The dumbest guy on earth, by the way, but he pulled this off.
It was a ketchup packet on his ear that...
The FBI was all in on it because the six people who jumped on him didn't notice the blood packet.
And as far as I'm concerned, the new standard, I don't know how closely you're following the Alex Jones stuff, that's violent event denial.
That's a $1.5 billion thought crime on the internet now.
Who was it?
You can't deny it.
So you had Kyle Rittenhouse who used self-defense, was tried...
Oh, Derek Chauvin, also now people are saying call for a pardon of Chauvin, who will still spend his time in jail for the other charges, or at least the tax stuff.
Dude, that's amazing.
And legal-wise, how's it with things on the channel?
What have you been involved in these days?
So, a video that's going to be coming out very soon is a video on a self-defense case in Canada where a guy loaded a...
He used a very unusual item.
He appears to have loaded a shotgun with a novelty shotgun shell.
Somebody was threatening him, so he loads it with...
You know they make these little knives that look like a shotgun shell?
Yes. He loads that into a shotgun.
So it's like, wait, what?
So that I was...
I was just reading through self-defense cases for fun and I ran into that and I was like, okay, that's odd.
And then it actually turns out to be a pretty decent self-defense case just for discussing the law.
So I look at that.
In terms of the fact that the projectile never had any chance of being projected if it was not a live round.
Yeah, it's not a live round.
I mean, you'd be just as likely to fire off this bottle of hot sauce as that thing.
It looks like what he was doing was trying to make it look to the other guy like he was loading a real shell, and I don't think he had any actual shells on him because he was taking the shotgun to a gunsmith at the time.
So it's just this weird kind of Canadian self-defense.
The guy's got a shotgun, but he's got no ammo, and all he's doing is faking it real hard as to what he might be able to do.
And he initially gets convicted.
Well, because my understanding is that under Canadian law, it doesn't matter if he had the ability to do it.
It's the causing the fear and apprehension or the intent to cause the fear and apprehension in the alleged victim that qualifies as the mens rea.
Well, that's the assault with a weapon that they convict him on.
They also convict him of pointing a firearm because it's, you know, a firearm.
And it doesn't matter if it's loaded for that charge.
So they get him on that.
But yeah, he then appeals it.
It becomes this big thing.
And it's kind of an interesting discussion because the guy's like 5'5", and there's sort of a road rage situation with a guy who is 6'6", and much bigger than he is.
So the question is, what is reasonable self-defense when you're sitting there and the other guy is much bigger than you are?
Are you supposed to...
I mean, it really felt like, you know, you watched the Rittenhouse trial and you've got...
I forget if it was Binger or Krause who said it.
It was like, sometimes you just have to take a beating.
It was Krause.
Binger was the one...
Binger with his finger on the trigger.
And Krause was Santa Krause, I think.
It was Krause.
Sometimes you just gotta take a beating.
And I mean, okay, I don't think Krause has ever been in a fistfight.
I don't think he's ever, like, you know, taken a beating.
But, you know, this notion that you can just take a beating and that that's fine is, to me, a little ridiculous.
Because you end up with a...
You don't necessarily know whether the person you are involved in a confrontation with is going to stop when you want them to stop.
You know, oh, well, I'm just going to take a beating.
Well, okay.
What happens if they decide to keep kicking you after you're down?
Well, the central case of, who was it?
The guy who got punched once in the face of the Supreme Court decision, fell back, hit his head, choked on his vomit, and it was murder, I think, if I'm not misremembering my criminal law class.
That would probably be manslaughter.
And he had a defective epiglottal, which is why he choked on his vomit, and the guy didn't know it, and he says you take your victim in the condition in which they come?
Yep, and that happens all the time, where you get somebody, like the one punch.
Often what happens is people just fall backwards.
So you get punched, people fall backwards, and the back of your skull is kind of A, it's weak, and B, there's a lot of critical stuff back there.
We're built, you know, sort of to take on confrontations from head on.
The front of our skull is much more durable.
And so if you, like, you know, you hit the point of a table going down, that can be it.
That can be lights out.
There isn't really a safe amount of force that won't ever kill somebody that also will stop them.
And that sort of goes back to Mr. Penny, right?
You punch out that guy once, and he could die.
But doing criminal law, I've seen plenty of cases where you've got somebody who gets into a fistfight, they lose the fistfight, and then once they're on the ground, Somebody decides to stomp their face a few times.
And the injuries from that can be horrific and life-changing.
So I really think that the courts need to...
And, you know, sometimes they get there in the end, but we've got to consider that self-defense is not always the easiest or the simplest thing.
And you can't just assume that just because somebody's unarmed that they're undangerous.
First of all, I assumed everyone is constantly armed and constantly dangerous, and you govern yourself accordingly instead of recording a drunk lady on a bus who could be armed and unhinged.
Ian, in our chat in Locals, they said that the woman testifying was Chris Stims, Taxpayer Federation, Rural West.
So I'm going to go find that afterwards.
And also, a question in the chat.
Don't forget to mention they were cadaver pig's eyes.
Ian, you weren't shooting living pigs in the eyes.
No, although interestingly, I had a death threat over a previous video from somebody who didn't watch it.
But yes, I have a pig eye person, like a butcher, who's willing to pull them out.
And then I just put them into...
To do the pig eye test properly, they have to be put into a shape, like sort of a...
A proper receptacle.
I got a plastic skull and I put them in there.
Do you watch the slow-mo guys, obviously?
Yeah. I want to get one of those cameras.
They're just really expensive.
If you get a decent one, it's $10,000- $15,000 easily.
You watch Kentucky Ballistics?
Yeah. I've seen some of his stuff.
I was very glad when he did not suffer serious consequences from his little oops.
Yeah, you stick a thumb in it.
Kentucky Ballistics is an amazing firearms channel.
He was firing...
I forget what it was.
My son now says it's his favorite gun.
It's a super powerful...
What was it called?
A BP?
A BG?
I forget which gun it was.
I've met him, but very briefly, and I doubt he remembers me.
I got to shake his hand at a range event.
He's a good guy.
Bottom line, it was a very powerful bullet that was apparently a hot round, which I now know what it means, and it blew the back out of his rifle, which blasted into his face, and the piece of the, I guess, I don't know what it was, the bolt-action thingy thing went and sliced his jugular, and he had to put a thumb in it to pinch it down while his dad's driving him to the hospital, and he survived.
He's lucky he survived.
Absolutely! Wild.
What was it called?
It was a BG.
Someone's going to get it in the chat before I...
Before I can remember it.
My kid, I was like, that's my favorite gun.
We're going to go see if we can make friends with Kentucky Ballistics.
Let me see if there's any questions in here for you, Ian.
And let me go to the regular chat.
Oh, hold on.
There's a Rumble rant over in Rumble from Biltong is in the house.
Oh, okay.
Biltong. Looking for some healthy high-protein stocking stuffers this season?
Get yours at BiltongUSA.com.
Promo code 10. Viva10.
And you'll get 10% off.
Ships to your door.
And he also streams Fridays and Sundays.
Well, I don't know if they can get...
Is Biltong legal up in Canada?
I assume so.
That's just like a meat product.
It's a meat product, but no joke.
You can't ship or even bring meats or fruits or vegetables over the borders with impunity.
Yeah, I don't know about the shipping across the border.
Oh, it's a 50 BMG.
That is what it is.
A thousand percent.
You've never seen it.
And there was another guy who just shot one.
Hernandez. Brendan Herrera.
Canadian politics.
I've fired 50 BMG, but I can't say I like doing it.
I saw the slow-mo video.
It's like firing an explosion.
What does it feel like?
It's like you get concussive force level discharge.
I can't do the fire it.
Unsupported. So when I've fired 50 BMG, it's off a support, but it still hits you pretty hard.
The biggest gun I've got is a.300 Norma Magnum, which is still a fairly large firearm, but they banned the 50 BMG in Canada.
I need to find somebody who's still got one so that I can...
Try to pick it up from them.
Jeez Louise.
That's wild.
Amazing. Ian, if it doesn't bother you, I'm going to stay live on my Locals afterwards to do the Locals exclusive part.
Tell everyone where they can find you.
The Pig Eye video is coming up next?
The Pig Eye video I released.
The one I'm just about to put out is the self-defense weird shotgun shell thing.
And then there's going to be more stuff.
I'm also covering, I don't know if you know who Cody Wilson is?
No. He's the guy, he sort of developed the Liberator pistol.
He runs DefCAD, which sometimes people call FedCAD.
And he is being sued by Matt LaRosiere, who goes by FUDBusters.
Because he's been accused of stealing people's designs.
He's been accused of all sorts of things.
And he's been convicted of contact with a 16-year-old.
This is out of America.
This is out of the US, yep.
In Canada, 16 would be legal, as it is in the UK.
With certain exceptions, depending on positions of power.
It wouldn't have been legal in his circumstances, though.
Teacher? He paid for it.
Oh. So, yeah.
It would not be legal here in Canada either, but he has, in his response to this lawsuit, he is basically taking a run at the Second Amendment, and he's basically trying to shut down distribution of 3D-printed firearm files.
So, Cody Wilson seems to have kind of turned on the Second Amendment.
And so that video is going to be coming out soon as well.
I probably have to record that.
I'm hoping to get that done tonight.
So, yeah.
Very cool.
Ian, it's been fantastic seeing you again.
It's going to drive me crazy if I don't ask you.
How tall are you?
Five foot ten, although I shrink a bit if my back is bad.
Oh, you're such a small amount.
I'm like, maybe.
Am I going to be taller than Ian?
Nope. You're almost four inches taller than me.
Okay. Well, one day we have to actually be in the same place at the same time.
Every once in a while, Donut Operator does like an influencer shoot.
So follow him on Twitter.
And next time he does one, be like, hey, I want in.
I believe I am following Donut Operator.
And I think I do know which one.
There was one.
It was either recently or to be held soon.
I might be able to make my...
Hold on.
Donut Operator.
Yeah, we're following each other.
I just have to see when they're...
Oh, it was December 18th.
No, hold on a second.
No, that's last year.
Never mind.
It might be coming up soon.
There was a possibility of attending, but I think I have to go back to Commie Canada, Ian.
But not to your side of the country.
Back to Quebec.
Ah, well, that is unfortunate.
I mean, out here in...
One thing that the West and Quebec agree on is sometimes we all agree on Vive la Quebec Libre.
I never understood the resentment of the West towards Quebec and the East in particular.
Now I understand it.
And I never understood the separation movements.
I mean, I sort of understood it, but now I understand why the West wants the Wexit of Canada.
The one moment I thought was actually really where Quebec and the West came together was Trudeau attacking the West.
And there was a bunch of people in Quebec who were like, I know he thinks this is going to play well here, but we don't like this either.
Because we know what it's like to sort of have people throw shit at us, and we don't like it...
You know, we don't like it...
When it's aimed towards Alberta either.
So I really appreciated that a bunch of people in Quebec sort of stood up for Alberta on that one.
And I was like, yeah, solidarity.
Awesome. Ian, this is your channel.
I just shared the link.
Runkle of the Bailey.
Yep. And...
Oh, yeah, there you go.
There you go.
Canadian, that's beautiful.
That's the smaller version.
They have the bigger...
They also have like a rifle version.
Yep. Dude, did you already put out...
You already put out a video on it?
I did.
I was getting so many messages.
Oh, but here's the thing.
YouTube first age-restricted it.
Yeah, for sure.
And then they limited ads on it.
And so if you ever want to know how...
For the people who aren't YouTube-friendly, that kills a video, right?
It's like it no longer exists on the platform, and it'll go from whatever the curve was to...
Off a cliff.
You see the curve and then it's just flat after that because it's like you will not get any more views once they've ad limited it and age limited it so that video is basically dead now notwithstanding the fact that it was I thought it was a really good video but they're like no it shows too much violence because this blurry guy where you can't see any blood Not just that.
Every MSM outlet airs the same footage.
They're fully monetized.
And they get ads.
Premium ads, not just regular.
Are you on Rumble as well?
I'm on Rumble, although I haven't really figured out how to get traction on Rumble yet.
And I need to figure out how to...
I haven't figured out the Rumble ecosystem.
I've just got Rumble mirrored over.
That's a good enough start, but we can talk about that afterwards.
Well, yeah, we'll chat, but I'll let you sort of head over there, and thank you so much.
Yes, to my locals, Ian, thank you very much.
It's fantastic, and we'll see where this goes.
All predictions are in.
Cheers. Have a good one.
All right, man.
Have a good day.
Ian Runkle people, link to Runkle of the Bailey, which is his channel.
Let me see if I missed anything over on Commitube, but before we head on over to locals, we're skipping over the rumble part today.
Okay, I don't think I missed anything on Rumble, on YouTube.
On Rumble, let's go to the chat here for a bit.
Quebec discriminates against all non-Francophones, says Lyle Chaplin.
I've got a controversial take on Quebec.
If you don't want to have to learn French, pick another province to live in.
The one thing I've never understood about Quebec is the double standard that tends to exist among Quebec politicians, which is to many people call Israel the apartheid state because it exists as a Jewish state.
While simultaneously supporting the idea that Quebec should have the right to exist as a French province.
And I'm not inconsistent.
Both have the right to exist in that entity.
And if you don't want to speak French and you want to learn French, pick another province.
There's plenty of other provinces.
And if you don't want to learn English, there's plenty of other countries.
That is it.
They do discriminate.
I think for what the commenter was talking about in terms of discriminating, there are laws to preserve and protect the French language.
The irony is that they've had that law, Bill 101, for 40 years, and apparently it's performed so badly they need to jack it up.
And if you can't protect your language and culture with laws after four decades, more laws and more decades are not going to be that which preserves it.
Lyle Chaplin says, Ass is where my mouth is.
All right.
Let's see what we got here.
Polish. Polish Dog says, Kyle, be patient.
Rumble is going to have growing pains, but I would say, if not for Rumble, we may have lost the last election.
I agree.
If it weren't for Rumble, if it weren't for...
Some people are going to say Twitter, but I would say Rumble and Bongino and Crowder and, well, when Bannon got back on, War Room and Alex Jones.
But all of those existed on Twitter as well, which reached a lot of Americans.
But no, Rumble is...
Lyle Chaplin, I was born here, as was I. And you were born in a French province.
That's the end of it.
It's not...
And Polish dog says you to stop it.
Viva, I have never heard you discuss Canada being a corporation because I don't put much stock in it, Real Fringe.
I know of the theories.
I know of the sovereign citizen stuff as well, and I don't put much stock in it, so I don't entertain things that I don't either agree with or believe or understand.
Hawk Tua girl is going to prison.
You heard the news about the Hawk Tua.
We'll talk about that over on vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
Hawk Tua chick just committed massive, massive, I don't know, allegedly.
What could be construed as massive, massive fraud.
All right, go give Ian a follow.
Ian Runkle of the Bailey.
And on Twitter, he is...
Ian. Hold on.
On Twitter, he is Ian Runkle.
And that is I-A-N-R-U-N-K-L-E.
On Twitter and Runkle of the Bailey, which is a play on the Rumpel of the Bailey, the British lawyer.
Thingy thing on Twitter.
All right.
On YouTube.
So now we are going to end on YouTube.
Oh, sorry.
Coy Griffin is coming on tomorrow.
6.30 Eastern.
4.30 his time, I believe.
Coy Griffin was the one who was removed from his elected post because of insurrection.
And I've been following the story.
And there was a Twitter space on Monday with Jake Lang and the other Jan Sixers.
And I heard Coy talking and we followed each other on Twitter.
I said, Coy, would you come on and talk about it?
Because I've been wanting to talk about it for a while.
Coy Griffin, I forget what his position was exactly, but it was an elected state position or municipal position, and he was removed from office because of insurrection disqualification, which we argued at the time was going to be used as the pretext or the precedent to go after Trump.
So tomorrow that's going to be an amazing show, and if I'm not, I think I'm going to be on with Hunley and the gang at lunch.
So Commitube, just spat on.
And no, I haven't gotten my new computer yet.
Ending on Commitube.
Now, peace out, peeps.
See you later.
Get the downloaded version on podcast.
Viva Fry Recovering Lawyer, I think, on Podbean.
Ending on Commitube.
Bada-bing, bada-boom, bada-bye.
And Twitter, you're going to get the same tweetment.
You're going to get the same tweetment right now.
Twitter, you're gone.
See you later.
VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
And now I'm going to give everybody the link in Rumble to VivaBarnesLaw.locals.
Bada bing, bada boom is here.
Booty Jew says, my number one favorite Jew.
Don't make me do it, Fry.
You can't spell Jew without a three?
It's not a slur.
I mean, I guess maybe it is a slur.
Most men in the eastern part of Canada are wimps.
Look at Toronto, Maple Leafs, Shake 67. Yeah, but then go further east.
Go to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland.
I don't think you're going to be seeing wimps there.
Alright, nobody said it couldn't be an erection at the way...
Oh, I've been watching Ben Bankus.
We're going to watch it over on Locals.
Ben Bankus is a Canadian comic, and his bits on Olivia Chow are so freaking hilarious.
I mean, if you want to get cancelled.
Ben Bankus.
B-E-N-B-A-N-K-A-S.
Politically incorrect humor that will make you laugh.
And make you think you're going to hell for laughing.
Alright, Rumble.
We're going to end on Rumble.
We're going to go over to Locals.
Everybody, thank you very much.
I'll put out another video this afternoon.
Probably. Maybe I'll break down.
See if there's a Daniel Penny hung jury or acquittal.
Rumble, thank you for being here.
And now we're going over to Locals.
Bada bing, bada boom.
