00:03:04.000 All right, everybody.

00:03:05.000 Incredibly important moment in American history happening here with Drew Hernandez, and we have Jack Pesobic somewhere.

00:03:11.000 We're We're able to get him into gear.

00:03:13.000 Okay.

00:03:14.000 All right.

00:03:14.000 Let's go to the courtroom right now.

00:03:15.000 Kyle Rittenhouse trial.

00:03:17.000 We might have a verdict.

00:03:18.000 Yeah.

00:03:18.000 So we're getting this in real time.

00:03:21.000 And so Kyle's just sitting there waiting for his fate.

00:03:25.000 Drew, you were there that night.

00:03:26.000 I was there.

00:03:26.000 I was in that courtroom.

00:03:28.000 I was there when this all happened.

00:03:29.000 You witnessed the first shooting, is that right?

00:03:31.000 Yep, I witnessed that's Kyle's mother right there. 0.99

00:03:33.000 Kyle's mother.

00:03:34.000 It's a very huge, huge moment in American history.

00:03:39.000 And the reason why is because, you know, I think it was Jack tweeted earlier a couple seconds ago: we're going to see who had the more power or who has the more power in the United States.

00:03:50.000 Is it corporate media or actual evidence?

00:03:53.000 Yeah, that's so true.

00:03:54.000 And it's so true.

00:03:55.000 And shout out to Jack for saying that because Jack's coverage has been terrific.

00:03:58.000 Oh, amazing, phenomenal.

00:03:59.000 I'm proud of him.

00:04:00.000 And I'm thankful for his support and you as well.

00:04:03.000 But, you know, I think America has to pay attention to this because, I mean, we've seen MSNBC.

00:04:07.000 They came out and admitted that they had a guy stalking the jury bus.

00:04:11.000 They came out and said, oh, did they arrest that person?

00:04:13.000 Yeah, he was arrested, but they said, oh, he just had a traffic violation.

00:04:18.000 Right.

00:04:18.000 Right in front of the jury.

00:04:19.000 Can we keep the feed going, please?

00:04:21.000 Don't cut out of it.

00:04:21.000 Yeah.

00:04:22.000 Yeah.

00:04:22.000 All right.

00:04:22.000 Yeah, keep the feed.

00:04:23.000 People don't need to see us right now.

00:04:25.000 This is a huge moment in American history.

00:04:27.000 And people need to pay attention to this because law and order has been subverted very successfully.

00:04:33.000 We've seen that in 2020.

00:04:35.000 And once that happens, justice is next.

00:04:38.000 And obviously, you're going to see this happen in the justice system.

00:04:41.000 Right now, as I could speak for myself, is you know, I had the video evidence that I had on my body cam footage, around 80 to 100 videos that was submitted to them.

00:04:52.000 The jury had all of that, including my eyewitness testimony.

00:04:56.000 And so we will see with everything that they have had.

00:04:59.000 You could see even the defense, they all just seem stressed out.

00:05:02.000 This is such a huge moment.

00:05:03.000 I mean, it's just, you're basically, this is as close to meeting your maker for judgment, the earthly equivalent that you could ever imagine, right?

00:05:11.000 Absolutely.

00:05:13.000 And the judge is, so what is the judge waiting for the jury right now?

00:05:17.000 Is that probably what's happening?

00:05:19.000 It could be.

00:05:19.000 I haven't heard any of the audio because we've just been sitting here for the past few minutes.

00:05:23.000 It just seems like they are possibly awaiting that for them to come out.

00:05:28.000 I could maybe get that wrong because I haven't seen anything prior to this, but I'm just going to comment on some of their emotions.

00:05:33.000 You could tell Kyle is definitely thinking about the rest of his life right now.

00:05:40.000 That's a moment that very few human beings will ever come across.

00:05:42.000 So you have an innocent man.

00:05:44.000 I could say that.

00:05:45.000 He's an innocent man who now is in the ultimate power where the people next to him have tried to destroy him.

00:05:52.000 Is Jack Pasobic on the line?

00:05:54.000 Jack, what's going on?

00:05:56.000 Hey, everybody.

00:05:57.000 So I, like everyone else, I'm waiting to hear what's going on.

00:06:00.000 You know, I heard a couple of minutes ago from.

00:06:03.000 Jack, hold on.

00:06:03.000 Hold on.

00:06:04.000 Let's cut to the judge.

00:06:05.000 Hold on.

00:06:06.000 Are we going in?

00:06:07.000 Let's go.

00:06:07.000 Yeah.

00:06:08.000 No, it doesn't need to be.

00:06:12.000 There can't be any reaction at all, no matter how strongly you may feel.

00:06:16.000 And it's understood that many people do have strong feelings.

00:06:20.000 But we can't permit any kind of a reaction to the verdict.

00:06:25.000 And as you can see, there's quite a bit of law enforcement here, and he will be whisked out of here if there is any.

00:06:31.000 So just be aware.

00:06:35.000 And can you imagine what Kyle's thinking right now?

00:06:39.000 His fate is literally in these people's hands.

00:06:42.000 It sounds like if you're just tuning in, the jury has been called upon to enter the courtroom.

00:06:48.000 These are years.

00:06:49.000 These seconds are years.

00:06:51.000 Every single year.

00:06:52.000 Moments like this, I'm just glad that God gave us prayer.

00:06:55.000 Seriously.

00:06:57.000 Yep.

00:06:59.000 He gave us prayer for moments like this.

00:07:03.000 You have his mother right behind him.

00:07:06.000 Sister right there.

00:07:07.000 His sister.

00:07:10.000 I think his defense did a good job.

00:07:11.000 I do.

00:07:12.000 There's a couple things I think they could have done differently, but I think they did a good job.

00:07:17.000 And that sounds like a door opening.

00:07:21.000 And that sounds like you have people walking in.

00:07:23.000 They're looking at him.

00:07:24.000 It's right in that corner.

00:07:25.000 This right here is something that is his future.

00:07:31.000 It's a human life that's about to be decided.

00:07:34.000 All right, members of the jury, have you elected a four-person?

00:07:38.000 Would you give your adjournment?

00:07:42.000 Please.

00:07:43.000 54.

00:07:44.000 54.

00:07:45.000 And has the jury reached a verdict as to each count of the information?

00:07:48.000 Yes, we have, John.

00:07:49.000 One verdict and one verdict only.

00:07:51.000 Yes.

00:07:52.000 Would you hand all the paperwork to the bailiff, please?

00:07:54.000 This is the ones that you didn't know.

00:07:56.000 Everything.

00:07:57.000 Yeah, thanks.

00:08:04.000 May I see that too, please?

00:08:33.000 Not guilty, Rosenbaum.

00:08:39.000 The defendant will rise and face the jury and hearken to its verdicts.

00:08:44.000 State of Wisconsin versus Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:08:47.000 As to the first count of the information, Joseph Rosenbaum.

00:08:51.000 We, the jury, find the defendant, Kyle H. Rittenhouse, not guilty.

00:08:56.000 As to the second count of the information, Richard McInnes, we, the jury, find the defendant, Kyle H. Rittenhouse, not guilty.

00:09:04.000 As to the third count of the information, unknown male, we, the jury, find the defendant, Kyle H. Rittenhouse, not guilty.

00:09:12.000 As to the fourth count of the information, Anthony Huber, we, the jury, find the defendant, Kyle H. Rittenhouse, not guilty.

00:09:20.000 As to the fifth count of the information, Gage Rose Courts, we, the jury, find the defendant, Kyle H. Ritthouse, not guilty.

00:09:30.000 Not guilty at all?

00:09:32.000 Members of the jury, are these your unanimous verdicts?

00:09:35.000 Is there anyone who does not agree with the verdicts as read?

00:09:39.000 Would you wish the jury pulled?

00:09:42.000 You see that?

00:09:44.000 Wow.

00:09:46.000 And we started three weeks ago.

00:09:51.000 And I told you it could last two weeks and two days.

00:09:56.000 This was three weeks.

00:09:58.000 You were a wonderful jury to work with.

00:10:01.000 You were punctual.

00:10:02.000 You were tantive.

00:10:04.000 The forgotten six over here who had a very difficult job of keeping from discussing the case during the time that they were sequestered as well.

00:10:16.000 All of you, you just, I couldn't have asked for a better jury to work with.

00:10:20.000 And it has truly been my pleasure.

00:10:25.000 I think, without commenting on your verdict, the verdicts themselves, just in terms of your attentiveness and the cooperation that you gave to us, justifies the confidence that the founders of our country placed in you.

00:10:44.000 So I dismiss you at this time.

00:10:47.000 You're never under any obligation to discuss any aspect of this case with anyone.

00:10:54.000 You're welcome to do so as little or as much as you want.

00:10:58.000 The media have requested, a number of media sources have requested the ability to talk to you, and They have been allowed to present presentations to you that you'll get in writing.

00:11:14.000 And it's entirely up to you whether you want to contact them.

00:11:18.000 They are not to contact you.

00:11:22.000 If anyone does contact you and just tell them you're not interested in discussing it, if that's the case.

00:11:31.000 And if anyone persists in doing so, report that to us and it will be addressed.

00:11:36.000 I assure you.

00:11:39.000 At the beginning of the trial, there was some concern about information and your safety.

00:11:48.000 And I assure you that we will take every measure to ensure that that is your concerns are addressed and respected.

00:11:57.000 And I'm going to talk to you for just a minute, not about anything to do with the case, but just about that sole issue.

00:12:04.000 And as I say, you're welcome to discuss the case as little or as much as you want.

00:12:15.000 And any questions, anybody?

00:12:20.000 Thank you so much.

00:12:21.000 And after four years, you're eligible for service again.

00:12:27.000 It would be my pleasure to work with you.

00:12:29.000 Thank you.

00:12:33.000 Yeah, please.

00:12:36.000 Or in the library.

00:12:36.000 They can attend the library.

00:12:37.000 It's not going to be more than a minute.

00:12:39.000 Or maybe it will be.

00:12:41.000 That's fine.

00:12:41.000 Yeah, take them upstairs.

00:12:43.000 Yeah, I just, I'm emotional.

00:13:08.000 I'm emotional too, man, because, you know, watching Kyle collapse like that is because, not because he's, I don't want to speak for him, but I could just feel it because I'm going to be honest with the viewers right now.

00:13:20.000 I was there that night.

00:13:21.000 I know what I saw.

00:13:22.000 I know what I recorded.

00:13:24.000 Kyle was defending himself. 0.99

00:13:26.000 He was not in any way, shape, or form an active shooter that showed up to shoot a bunch of black people that he wanted to kill. 0.94

00:13:32.000 That kid was there because he wanted to defend him, the town that was being violently attacked by arsonists. 0.88

00:13:39.000 And he had to defend his own life that night.

00:13:42.000 And I know what I saw.

00:13:43.000 And for me, I understand why he collapsed.

00:13:45.000 It's not because it's like, oh, I just got off the hook.

00:13:48.000 No, he collapsed because he knew the truth.

00:13:50.000 He knew that his life was on the line and that there was a lie trying to take his life.

00:13:54.000 Assailed by lies.

00:13:55.000 That's exactly right.

00:13:56.000 Yep.

00:13:56.000 And you rarely ever see a moment like that where someone's life flashes in front of his eyes.

00:14:03.000 That's as close as you could put it, right?

00:14:05.000 You know, Charlie, I think we just, you know, the viewers, we need to thank God because it's rare that we're starting to see moments like this right now where justice prevails.

00:14:13.000 And when we do see this, I think we need to seriously thank Jesus because, I mean, with everything that's happening in the United States of America, everyone is already kind of just anticipating for darkness to just win, right?

00:14:24.000 So right now, I think that the Lord gave the W because this is honestly what happened. 0.52

00:14:30.000 Well, justice is of the Lord.

00:14:31.000 Justice is of the Lord.

00:14:32.000 Justice is giving a man his due, and Kyle Rittenhouse deserves to be able to have Thanksgiving with his family.

00:14:37.000 Think about that.

00:14:38.000 That what they just put forward, if they would have said guilty, the mandatory minimum for first-degree murder is life for the rest of in jail, for the rest of his life.

00:14:48.000 And, you know, there's a lot of biblical context in this, and you're right, where it's, you know, in the biblical story or narrative, you know, you're going to meet your maker and you will have justice ahead of you.

00:14:59.000 You could either go spend the rest of your eternity in a place you don't want to spend or you could go and walk free.

00:15:04.000 And in the earthly context, that's exactly what you just saw that you rarely ever see it like this.

00:15:09.000 Yes.

00:15:10.000 Right?

00:15:10.000 Exactly.

00:15:11.000 And just so everyone understands, less than 1% of cases that go to trial, does the defendant not go to jail?

00:15:19.000 Less than 1% are cases actually there.

00:15:22.000 Yes.

00:15:23.000 And this is a huge blow to the regime.

00:15:26.000 Massive blow.

00:15:27.000 And can we get the tape back of Kyle please collapsing?

00:15:30.000 Is that possible?

00:15:31.000 Could we try to get that?

00:15:33.000 I mean, I've seen a lot of things in my life.

00:15:34.000 He fell to the ground.

00:15:36.000 Yeah, because that is.

00:15:37.000 He just started just shaking.

00:15:38.000 Yes, that is a young man that knew that his entire life was in jeopardy, was on the line.

00:15:43.000 For doing nothing.

00:15:44.000 For doing nothing.

00:15:45.000 And he knew that.

00:15:46.000 I mean, think about it, Charlie.

00:15:47.000 All of the media smears when this all started.

00:15:50.000 They immediately white supremacists to where the so-called president of the United States ran on that on his campaign, made him the poster child.

00:15:58.000 I am excited to see how Kyle Rittenhouse goes after all these people for defamation.

00:16:03.000 That is the next step.

00:16:04.000 He has to.

00:16:05.000 He's going to make Nick Sandman look like, you know, it's going to make that look like a trip.

00:16:08.000 Oh, they're going to collab.

00:16:09.000 They're going to collab.

00:16:09.000 You're going to see a huge collaboration with Nick Sandman and Kyle Rittenhouse because so much defamation has taken place against Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:16:17.000 And this is just the beginning.

00:16:18.000 He's going to have a massive success.

00:16:21.000 You remember that during the whole Kyle Rittenhouse thing, you know, certain companies didn't want to be associated with him anymore?

00:16:25.000 Yeah.

00:16:26.000 You know, you had certain Black Rifle or Black, was it?

00:16:29.000 Yep.

00:16:30.000 That would be the name of the company.

00:16:31.000 They came out and they said, oh, we don't want to deal with Kyle Rittenhouse, right?

00:16:34.000 So you don't want to deal with an innocent, free, exonerated man.

00:16:37.000 And I think if we learned anything from Kavanaugh, we learned anything from Sandman, we learned anything from the McCloskeys. 0.98

00:16:43.000 And now with Rittenhouse is that the media machine, they have some vulnerabilities.

00:16:50.000 They have some fault lines.

00:16:52.000 This is the most important point out of here.

00:16:54.000 Kyle Rittenhouse is acquitted, everybody.

00:16:57.000 Kyle Rittenhouse is a free man for defending himself.

00:17:01.000 And you were there.

00:17:02.000 You testified in this trial.

00:17:03.000 Absolutely.

00:17:04.000 Absolutely.

00:17:04.000 Because I know what I saw.

00:17:06.000 He was defending himself.

00:17:08.000 Joseph Rosenbaum was not a saint.

00:17:10.000 He's not a hero.

00:17:11.000 He was a very violent individual that was chasing Kyle Rittenhouse from behind.

00:17:16.000 And Kyle heard a gunshot in that parking lot, turned around, and the first thing he saw was Joseph Rosenbaum, a convicted pedophile, literally lunging after him and his weapon, and he fired.

00:17:27.000 Okay.

00:17:28.000 And if that's not a case of self-defense in the United States of America, Charlie, I don't know what is.

00:17:32.000 And what has always perplexed me throughout this whole thing is two things.

00:17:36.000 Number one, how this was even allowed to go to court.

00:17:41.000 This was the power of the machine for a narrative and for all these different things.

00:17:45.000 The second thing that I think is so important for people to recognize and realize is how the center right and the right in general, they didn't want to defend Kyle through this whole thing, as if he had like, you know, deep sympathies towards the, you know, some sort of different groups.

00:17:59.000 And, you know, my goodness, is this not a lesson?

00:18:03.000 Because they fall into the garbage.

00:18:04.000 They fall into the narrative, right? 1.00

00:18:06.000 White supremacy, white supremacy.

00:18:07.000 You know, you see the center right come out and say, oh, we don't want anything to do with it.

00:18:11.000 But this is what they do, Charlie.

00:18:12.000 They always put people on the defense immediately, right?

00:18:16.000 And then all these weak people, center-right, that claim to be conservatives, Americans, they fall right into it.

00:18:21.000 They fall right into it. 0.91

00:18:22.000 Oh, we want nothing to do with this individual because he's been tainted as a white. 1.00

00:18:26.000 It's a lie.

00:18:26.000 We have to come together and stop letting these people put us on the defense like this because this is where it goes.

00:18:32.000 Charlie, this is where it goes.

00:18:34.000 Well, I mean, where this was truly a trial that was manufactured by the media.

00:18:42.000 If it was not for media pressure, Kyle would not have had to go through this.

00:18:46.000 Hundreds of thousands of dollars.

00:18:47.000 By the way, what's the link for Kyle?

00:18:49.000 It's kind of a goofy link.

00:18:51.000 I have personally contributed to his legal defense fund.

00:18:54.000 I encourage you to do the same.

00:18:55.000 Those defense attorneys are not cheap.

00:18:57.000 They're not.

00:18:58.000 That's a high-level defense right there.

00:19:01.000 And his family had to go into debt, post a $2 million bail.

00:19:04.000 But guess what?

00:19:05.000 You know where Kyle Rittenhouse gets to go tonight?

00:19:07.000 Home.

00:19:08.000 Kyle Rittenhouse gets to walk out of that courtroom.

00:19:11.000 Freekyleusa.org.

00:19:13.000 Kyle gets to have Thanksgiving with his family.

00:19:15.000 Kyle gets to have Christmas with his family.

00:19:17.000 Kyle gets to have a whole future in front of him.

00:19:19.000 He did nothing wrong.

00:19:21.000 And I want to now state the obvious.

00:19:22.000 Drew.

00:19:23.000 We need to pray for Kenosha because I'm afraid there's going to be some violence after this.

00:19:26.000 What do you think?

00:19:27.000 Because that's such a sick thing that we even have to deal with.

00:19:30.000 It really is.

00:19:31.000 And we have to blame the mainstream corporate media because they're the ones who stroke these flames.

00:19:36.000 No pun intended, right?

00:19:38.000 I mean, really think about what they've done.

00:19:40.000 They have used propaganda.

00:19:42.000 They have defamed Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:19:43.000 Listen, Charlie, after I testified, I had people calling me and were like, Drew, I have so many friends calling me right now saying they had no idea Kyle did not shoot black people.

00:19:53.000 That's right.

00:19:54.000 Do you know how many people, even on Twitter, there's black people going viral on Twitter because they're saying, I had no idea that he didn't shoot black people. 0.99

00:20:01.000 There are still people out there right now.

00:20:02.000 And the simulation.

00:20:04.000 Literally.

00:20:05.000 But this is what causes people to riot.

00:20:07.000 Yes. 0.98

00:20:08.000 Because they actually believe that black people are being targeted and attacked by white supremacists. 0.98

00:20:12.000 They're being hunted down to the streets. 0.75

00:20:13.000 And this is the McCloskeys, Border Patrol on horseback with whips, which, of course, wasn't true.

00:20:19.000 The thing with Kyle, though, and this is the power that conservatives underestimate, is the power of stereotyping imagery.

00:20:26.000 So if you see a white person with their hat on backwards, right, and a greenish camo shirt on with an AR-15, a scary-looking gun, and not a belt on it, but a, you know what I'm talking about.

00:20:41.000 Sling. 0.93

00:20:42.000 That's right.

00:20:42.000 All of a sudden, what does that trigger for you?

00:20:45.000 That triggers a narrative as if he is a militia member.

00:20:50.000 A threat.

00:20:50.000 Right?

00:20:51.000 Because we've been trained and conditioned through movies, through video games, or whatever to say that white person is a threat.

00:21:00.000 Does that make sense?

00:21:00.000 And like to decouple that, like, no, actually, Kyle was defending himself, but they had the picture they wanted.

00:21:07.000 The picture they wanted was the picture where Kyle had his mouth open as if he was yelling at people like, hey, keep on coming.

00:21:13.000 You know what I'm talking about?

00:21:15.000 One snapshot is what got him inducted.

00:21:17.000 And they're probably still going to continue with it.

00:21:19.000 I want to tell the team right now, go take a look at what MSNBC is saying right now.

00:21:23.000 Go take a look at what CNN is saying, because I want to see their reaction to this. 0.99

00:21:27.000 Because if they continue with this white supremacist garbage, these people are the ones that are stroking the flames to these riots. 0.99

00:21:34.000 So I think people need to pay attention. 0.99

00:21:36.000 And the viewers, for those people that may be tuning in from my Twitter, because I just posted it right now, the link to the show, you might be saying, you're defending a white supremacist.

00:21:43.000 You're defending a murder.

00:21:44.000 Go look at the facts.

00:21:45.000 Do not listen to the mainstream media.

00:21:47.000 They are lying to you.

00:21:48.000 How many times do we have to say this, Charlie, over and over and over again?

00:21:52.000 And again, this was, and I want to compliment the judge.

00:21:56.000 I think the judge wanted to throw this out with bias and prejudice, but I think he was saving that.

00:22:00.000 He really wanted the jury to speak because now it's definitive, right?

00:22:03.000 And I don't think that would have helped Kyle if he would have done that too early, right?

00:22:07.000 But the prosecution was probably trying to throw the case with infringing on his Fifth Amendment rights and that whole thing.

00:22:13.000 And the judge said something beautiful, which of course he'll be protested for.

00:22:17.000 He said, you guys, you're a testament to our framers.

00:22:19.000 You're not allowed to do that.

00:22:20.000 You're not allowed to compliment our founding fathers, right?

00:22:22.000 No.

00:22:23.000 You are not allowed to compliment Madison, Hamilton, and Jay.

00:22:26.000 And this actually gives me faith that the institutions aren't totally broken.

00:22:32.000 But I believe, Drew, if Kyle Rittenhouse would have done this in Washington, D.C., or if he would have done this in a liberal circuit, not like middle-class Kenosha, I don't know if he would have gotten a fair trial.

00:22:43.000 I totally agree.

00:22:44.000 There's so much corruption in the justice system, and that's been happening for decades.

00:22:47.000 But, you know, and I just want to say this for, because this is Turning Point USA.

00:22:51.000 There's a lot of young people watching this right now.

00:22:53.000 This is totally abnormal.

00:22:55.000 Okay.

00:22:55.000 Like this kind of justice is a very important thing.

00:22:57.000 Oh, it is a rarity.

00:22:58.000 For young, for Zoomers watching this, saying, Oh, yes, yes, like, no, this is totally abnormal. 0.87

00:23:02.000 This is why it's so important to get involved at a young age with truth, justice, and absolute righteousness because we need the next generation.

00:23:10.000 Because someday, these remaining old people that are still putting in work with truth and justice are not going to be there anymore. 1.00

00:23:16.000 That's right.

00:23:17.000 And the next generation of Marxists and these psychopath globalists are going to come in with their lawlessness and they are going to end up controlling.

00:23:23.000 And you may never see something like this ever again in the future.

00:23:26.000 So, I want to encourage the young people right now.

00:23:29.000 This is why it's important.

00:23:30.000 Don't, I mean, if you want to become the next little yachty, then God bless your soul.

00:23:33.000 But I think it's more important to want to be a judge that actually makes some changes and that ends up in a position like this in the future to actually uphold justice.

00:23:42.000 To me, that means more than becoming the next SoundCloud rapper in the United States of America.

00:23:45.000 Yeah, I mean, I agree.

00:23:46.000 Can we replay a Kyle Rittenhouse collapsing?

00:23:49.000 Is that possible?

00:23:50.000 Do we have that?

00:23:52.000 So, we, the jury, find the defendant, Kyle H. Rittenhouse, not guilty.

00:23:59.000 As to the fifth count of the information gauge gross courts, we the jury find the defendant, Kyle A. Kyle H. Rittenhouse, not guilty.

00:24:10.000 Members of the jury, are these your unanimous verdicts?

00:24:14.000 They are unanimous verdicts.

00:24:17.000 Yeah, man, it makes me want to cry, bro.

00:24:18.000 I mean, I'm getting emotional because being directly involved with this, like you one thing I will say is when I was test, when I was testifying, I don't want to make this about me, but I want people to understand the evil that's involved with this.

00:24:29.000 When I was testifying, Charlie, on the stand and the prosecution, I don't know if the tape caught this, but when the prosecutors, every time I would say rioter, vandal, looter, anytime I would say the truth, they would just laugh at me and shake their head.

00:24:43.000 And during the middle of that, while I was testifying, I just it just dawned on me: like, this is this is evil, this is evil because I know what the truth is, and these people are laughing at me like I'm lying when in reality, it's them laughing at the truth.

00:24:57.000 It's it's inverted, it's backwards, and people need to understand this is the reality of the evil that's in the justice system.

00:25:04.000 And today it's Kyle Rittenhouse, but tomorrow it could be you.

00:25:08.000 Well, and that's right.

00:25:09.000 And what Kyle represented was a test of the integrity of our system, right?

00:25:14.000 Which is, is our system still one that allows due process, the rule of law, cross-examination of witnesses, checks and balances?

00:25:23.000 And some people say no.

00:25:24.000 Yeah, some people say, our courts are all rigged.

00:25:26.000 There's still a remnant.

00:25:28.000 And that remnant, he happened to get a good judge, man.

00:25:30.000 He could have got a University of Wisconsin-Madison young radical, right?

00:25:35.000 I mean, absolutely.

00:25:36.000 The judge was fair and the judge was because even when I was in the courtroom, the judge would correct me on a few things that I was unaware of because I'm not in court every single day.

00:25:47.000 So I'm not, you know, up to date with how things are said.

00:25:50.000 So he would correct me.

00:25:51.000 He would correct the prosecution.

00:25:52.000 He would correct the defense.

00:25:54.000 He wasn't this biased individual.

00:25:55.000 And you remember when the judge was criticized for making that comment about Asian food coming from votes, right? 0.97

00:26:00.000 That was so ridiculous, Charlie. 0.97

00:26:01.000 Of course it is. 0.99

00:26:02.000 It's so tense in the courtroom.

00:26:04.000 He was just trying to, you know, disperse the tension in the court.

00:26:08.000 He was just saying things to people.

00:26:10.000 But the media takes this and they make it something that it's not.

00:26:13.000 And they create this division.

00:26:15.000 They create this division because they want division and they want us divided.

00:26:19.000 They want us so polarized.

00:26:20.000 And that's what they want in this country.

00:26:21.000 Left pinned against right, where it's so tribal, where it gets violent.

00:26:25.000 That's what they want.

00:26:26.000 We don't want that.

00:26:27.000 We don't want that at all.

00:26:28.000 But they're the ones that put us on the defense always.

00:26:30.000 And right now, I think Americans, I'm telling you, man, there's probably people watching that may have not normally watched your show before.

00:26:36.000 And I just want to communicate to you guys because I'm seeing it on my Twitter.

00:26:39.000 You guys need to pay attention to what the actual truth is because there is a media out there that is lying to your face on a daily basis.

00:26:46.000 And that's not a right-wing conservative talking point.

00:26:48.000 That's just the truth.

00:26:49.000 That's the real thing.

00:26:50.000 And so, and it's just, you know, and looking at some of these memes, yeah, he's not perfect.

00:26:55.000 No, I mean, he's the most exonerated individual.

00:26:58.000 Yeah, Kyle is a superstar.

00:27:00.000 And the closest that this is look, the other one that it was anywhere close to was George Zimmerman.

00:27:07.000 And Zimmerman was not exactly as likable of a character.

00:27:11.000 Let's just, you know, I'm not saying, it's just Zimmerman was a little bit more intense, right?

00:27:16.000 Where Kyle Rittenhouse has this perpetual baby face, right? 0.99

00:27:21.000 And you look at him, you're like, this is the guy that we're supposed to believe is this demonic white supremacist killer, murderer. 0.97

00:27:29.000 No, but make no mistake, we're already starting to see some of the chatter from the activists on Twitter. 0.99

00:27:33.000 Let's try to get some of those, Connor.

00:27:35.000 I'm sure that Ibram X. Kendi and all those beautiful people.

00:27:38.000 Yeah, let me see.

00:27:38.000 Let me check the Antifa short.

00:27:40.000 You know what I'm talking about.

00:27:41.000 BLM. 0.71

00:27:42.000 I'm sure they're saying burn it all down and all this.

00:27:44.000 We need to pray for Kenosha.

00:27:45.000 This could happen again.

00:27:48.000 Okay, so BLM Chicago just tweeted two minutes ago, F this system, stop white supremacy, response to Rittenhouse verdict.

00:27:56.000 Regardless of the outcome, we're hitting the streets to protest this racist injustice system.

00:28:01.000 So they claim it's a protest on Twitter, but we will see what happens in Chicago.

00:28:05.000 So that's just Chicago, right?

00:28:07.000 Chicago Black Lives Matter.

00:28:08.000 And with a picture of Kyle, right?

00:28:09.000 With the picture of Kyle.

00:28:11.000 Let me send this to the team.

00:28:11.000 I think I could see that.

00:28:12.000 We can put that up there.

00:28:13.000 So they're already starting the chatter. 0.98

00:28:15.000 And by the way, racist, he killed white people in self-defense. 0.95

00:28:18.000 I mean, this is what's so incredible. 0.98

00:28:20.000 And let me say this too.

00:28:22.000 Do you know Kyle Rittenhouse, his head of security?

00:28:25.000 No. 0.96

00:28:26.000 He's a black guy. 0.94

00:28:27.000 Is that right? 0.99

00:28:29.000 Some white supremacist, right, Charlie? 0.91

00:28:31.000 Right, exactly.

00:28:33.000 And so let's get to.

00:28:35.000 Let me send this to you.

00:28:35.000 I'm sure there's going to be some reaction to all this.

00:28:37.000 Do we have some Joy Reid reaction of how they were talking about this leading up?

00:28:40.000 I just want to remind people what they were saying about Kyle Rittenhouse, a now acquitted, innocent young man who had his whole life flashed in front of him.

00:28:50.000 And by the way, Drew, were you surprised?

00:28:51.000 I mean, it was a matter of 20 minutes where they said, we have a verdict that got everyone.

00:28:55.000 That was quick.

00:28:56.000 Yeah, I mean, I can't speak to what was going on with them inside of the jury selection.

00:29:01.000 I mean, I have no idea.

00:29:03.000 All I know is that some of the shady things that were happening was that MSNBC, freelance journalists were stalking the jury bus yesterday and got caught, got arrested and questioned for it.

00:29:14.000 I mean, there definitely was a lot in intimidation.

00:29:16.000 I'll speak to this too for me, too.

00:29:17.000 I received a lot of death threats.

00:29:19.000 Did you really?

00:29:19.000 Yes, on social media, people were telling me to kill myself.

00:29:22.000 They were sending me pictures with people with targets on their back. 1.00

00:29:24.000 They were saying, I hope you get shot. 0.97

00:29:26.000 We know that there were reports of the judge and his family receiving death threats. 0.87

00:29:32.000 I know I can report now that the defense was too.

00:29:35.000 Kyle's attorneys were receiving death threats at their law firm as well.

00:29:40.000 So I could only imagine what was happening to the jury.

00:29:42.000 I can only imagine, okay?

00:29:43.000 I can't speak for that.

00:29:45.000 I don't have anything to prove that the jury was being threatened, but just based off what happened with me, and I'm just an eyewitness, I can only imagine what was going on with them.

00:29:52.000 So did that play a part into why they were delayed?

00:29:55.000 I know Pesobic reported that a U.S. Marshal was saying that two of the jurors were fearful for their lives and stuff like that.

00:30:02.000 So, I mean, I don't know.

00:30:03.000 We'll probably hear the stories, Charlie.

00:30:05.000 I'm sure there'll be interviews with the jurors and we'll see what happens.

00:30:08.000 So Joy Reed tweets out, we knew, but sometimes helpful to remind ourselves how America was designed to work.

00:30:16.000 It continues to work as designed.

00:30:18.000 We have learned again what is considered legal for some people to do in America.

00:30:22.000 It's helpful to know where you stand in your country.

00:30:24.000 Be safe out there.

00:30:25.000 Joy Reid.

00:30:26.000 Wow.

00:30:28.000 And Chuck Todd on MSNBC right now is blaming the judge.

00:30:31.000 Of course he is.

00:30:32.000 Of course.

00:30:33.000 Because they want division.

00:30:34.000 This is what they want.

00:30:35.000 This is what the corporation media does.

00:30:37.000 They want they, that's their base.

00:30:39.000 Like, let's be honest.

00:30:40.000 Let's be honest.

00:30:41.000 Let's be honest, right?

00:30:41.000 Okay.

00:30:42.000 When you're in conservative media or you're a conservative talking head, you know what your base wants to hear, right?

00:30:48.000 And we know we have grifters that literally build careers on that.

00:30:50.000 They don't actually care about it.

00:30:52.000 They just know what the base wants to hear.

00:30:54.000 The left does the same thing.

00:30:55.000 We know that the radical left, the Marxists and the psychopath socialists, they are literally triggered by this stuff.

00:30:55.000 Yes.

00:31:02.000 They know they want to hear this stuff.

00:31:03.000 So they just say it and they don't care about the consequences because nothing's going to happen to them.

00:31:07.000 That's right.

00:31:07.000 Black votes matter, tweets out, not guilty on all charges, disappointed, but not surprised.

00:31:12.000 This is not justice.

00:31:13.000 This is not accountability.

00:31:14.000 However, this is America.

00:31:16.000 And so not surprised is now trending on Twitter.

00:31:18.000 There you go.

00:31:19.000 Because they're saying, oh, everything is so systemically racist that how could you do that?

00:31:23.000 Look.

00:31:24.000 Even though Kyle shot not one black person.

00:31:26.000 Well, and the point is that self-defense is equally applicable to people of all races, right?

00:31:31.000 That Kyle Rittenhouse, and by the way, this is the most important part of this, that he could not have, he could not have encountered a more intense or comprehensive examination of his actions.

00:31:48.000 If you can't indict somebody after what he just went through, he's innocent.

00:31:52.000 Right?

00:31:52.000 I mean...

00:31:53.000 But just think about how ridiculous the narrative goes to. 0.99

00:31:56.000 First, it's he's a white supremacist because they're trying to paint him as someone that shot a bunch of black people. 0.99

00:32:02.000 And now it's going to be, well, imagine if it was a black person. 0.99

00:32:05.000 They'd be in jail right now. 0.99

00:32:07.000 Yep.

00:32:08.000 It's just, these people are so desperate and it's just comical.

00:32:11.000 Remember, Facebook called Kyle Rittenhouse a mass murderer.

00:32:14.000 GoFundMe, shut down Kyle Rittenhouse's legal defense.

00:32:17.000 Conservatives said time and time again, I want to stay away from it.

00:32:21.000 Right.

00:32:21.000 Coffee companies disavowed him.

00:32:23.000 They said, you know, we don't want anything to do with him.

00:32:26.000 I think it was Cassandra Fairbanks, I think, that tweeted Kyle Rittenhouse did nothing wrong, or she posted on the other side.

00:32:31.000 And she got kicked off.

00:32:32.000 She got kicked off or was penalized.

00:32:34.000 I mean, it's just, people need to seriously pay attention to this, man.

00:32:38.000 I mean, big tech plays such a huge role on the minds of people, even in something as serious as this.

00:32:43.000 And look what the outcome was.

00:32:44.000 We're getting an email here, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:32:47.000 You guys can email us.

00:32:47.000 Lacey said, I am currently sobbing, not out of anger, not out of sadness.

00:32:51.000 I'm crying tears of joy.

00:32:53.000 The jury did the right thing.

00:32:54.000 They took every piece of evidence and we're able to see Kyle is innocent.

00:32:57.000 This is a huge win for America.

00:32:59.000 I'm so thankful to have been on the side of the fence for it.

00:33:01.000 And this is a really interesting thing.

00:33:03.000 And Tucker said this in a speech yesterday, which I thought was one of the greatest one-liners ever.

00:33:07.000 There's never been a country as good of America that has leaders as bad as we have.

00:33:11.000 Meaning, like the people of America still, I think, there's plenty of outliers in this, that I'm impressed.

00:33:18.000 The jury did the right thing.

00:33:19.000 But I think if you just pick random 12 citizens from Kenosha, they're going to figure it out.

00:33:23.000 And our leaders, they want to indict him.

00:33:25.000 Joe Biden wants him in jail.

00:33:27.000 Joy Reed wants him in jail. 0.99

00:33:29.000 So they want a young man, of course, young white man, which is a big part of this.

00:33:34.000 Of course.

00:33:35.000 There is a total attack on white people. 0.72

00:33:37.000 Talk about that. 0.86

00:33:38.000 Totally.

00:33:38.000 If I say it, then I get all these things.

00:33:40.000 No, I'm going to say it limitingly.

00:33:42.000 Let me say this for Charlie Kirk.

00:33:43.000 Okay, white people are being attacked in the United States of America, and it's very clear right now.

00:33:47.000 It's funny because people are saying, oh, this, you know, especially people on the right, they're saying this trial had nothing to do with race.

00:33:53.000 No, it did, because it was an attack on white people. 0.96

00:33:55.000 And right now, the reason, this critical race theory garbage, this is where it stems from. 0.98

00:33:59.000 And Charlie, you know this.

00:34:00.000 Because when you take a look at critical race theory, it's the power structure is the people that control everything, the narrative, the culture, the traditions, everything.

00:34:08.000 And they're taught this in universities.

00:34:10.000 And they say, just because the white people are the main population in the U.S., they're the power structure.

00:34:15.000 And then right now, this is how it bleeds through in media.

00:34:18.000 It bleeds through in education. 0.98

00:34:20.000 And they paint white people to be the demons. 0.96

00:34:22.000 And even by default, just because you're the main population in the United States of America, you're by default the supremacist. 0.98

00:34:28.000 Even though you're a white person that could care less about race.

00:34:31.000 But this is what they're taught. 0.93

00:34:32.000 Exactly.

00:34:33.000 And then, you know, I have Associated Press that comes out and they write this whole article, the Associated Press, where they write, they say, Charlie Kirk uses race to sow division.

00:34:42.000 I say, hold on a second.

00:34:44.000 My whole tour was about how we shouldn't care about race. 0.96

00:34:46.000 Like, you guys are the ones that are racial arsonists. 0.99

00:34:49.000 Look, here's the point: is that if Kyle Rittenhouse would have been a BLM activist and he would have shot two Trump supporters that were hunting him down, the whole narrative would have been completely different.

00:34:59.000 And honestly, we would have, and you can kind of see this a little bit in the Ahmad Arbery case, right?

00:35:03.000 Where the Ahmad Arbery case, I think there's more facts actually than people realize about that.

00:35:08.000 You're allowed to actually do a citizen's arrest if someone committed a felony and all this, but you do not see this kind of full-throated conservative defense of the shooters in the Ahmad Arbery case because we don't really like tribalism in a sense.

00:35:21.000 Like, if we think you might have acted a little improperly, we're not going to go put on the jersey and you know what I mean?

00:35:25.000 Where the other side's like, you know what?

00:35:26.000 We don't care. 0.97

00:35:27.000 Rittenhouse, white guy, has a gun. 0.99

00:35:30.000 You know, we're going to go after it. 0.64

00:35:31.000 By the way, LeBron James, how you doing, my friend?

00:35:34.000 Yeah, you owe LeBron.

00:35:36.000 You owe Kyle Rittenhouse an apology, buddy.

00:35:39.000 You owe Kyle Rittenhouse an apology.

00:35:41.000 A lot of people owe Kyle Rittenhouse an apology.

00:35:43.000 Well, LeBron James, who's worth probably a billion dollars and will never fly commercial another day in his life, right?

00:35:49.000 Goes and he calls Kyle Rittenhouse's tears crocodile tears.

00:35:52.000 Yep. 1.00

00:35:53.000 Yep, because he's a disgrace. 1.00

00:35:54.000 He is. 0.99

00:35:54.000 He'll never be Michael Ritten. 0.99

00:35:55.000 He's talented, but he's dumb. 1.00

00:35:56.000 Just if you say this, it bothers him. 1.00

00:35:58.000 He'll never be Michael Jordan ever.

00:36:01.000 He'll never be Michael Jordan.

00:36:02.000 Email us your thoughts, everybody.

00:36:03.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.

00:36:05.000 We're just kind of looking at the reaction here.

00:36:07.000 And I'm torn on this.

00:36:09.000 I think we're going to have some one-off violence, unfortunately.

00:36:11.000 But I will say, though, that I do not think that I don't think they're going to activate the mob machine.

00:36:17.000 And we know the mob machine exists.

00:36:19.000 The Time magazine article, remember, the shadow campaign that won the 2020 election?

00:36:23.000 They can activate arson and protest at a moment's notice.

00:36:26.000 Do you think they're going to push that button?

00:36:26.000 I don't know.

00:36:29.000 Here's the thing, Charlie.

00:36:31.000 Someone that's covered these riots extensively in 2020 is I think they believed they could control the machine.

00:36:39.000 But I think at some point, when you open up that can of worms, you will lose control of it.

00:36:44.000 And then what are they going to do?

00:36:45.000 Start calling the FBI, the feds, the National Guard, and it's going to get worse, right?

00:36:50.000 I think we're in an age right now where you're literally seeing these polarizations go after each other.

00:36:56.000 But I think the Democrat Party right now has opened up a door that they should have never opened because now they won't be able to close it.

00:37:02.000 But we'll see.

00:37:03.000 We'll see.

00:37:04.000 I know the Radicals, Antifa. 1.00

00:37:06.000 In the Rittenhouse trial, it came out that the feds had drones watching the riots.

00:37:10.000 And we didn't even know that, right?

00:37:11.000 We didn't.

00:37:12.000 And I'm sure Antifa didn't know that.

00:37:14.000 I'd be shocked if they did.

00:37:15.000 So I'm curious to see how they really do respond to this because now they're aware that there's drones watching the riots.

00:37:21.000 So let's also.

00:37:23.000 Hey, Connor, is domestic drone surveillance legal in America?

00:37:26.000 Are we allowed to do that?

00:37:27.000 That's a whole different question, isn't it?

00:37:29.000 Remember when Ryan Paul said one day there's going to be drones that are surveilling America?

00:37:34.000 Are we allowed to do that?

00:37:35.000 I hope they had to get a warrant to do that.

00:37:37.000 I hope so.

00:37:38.000 I'm sure they did.

00:37:40.000 Not too much.

00:37:40.000 I mean, it was, I don't know.

00:37:42.000 We'll see.

00:37:43.000 I mean, it was used.

00:37:45.000 I suppose it's open air, right?

00:37:46.000 So it's not any privileged or protected.

00:37:49.000 But the fact that drones could be following you around on American soil is maybe one of those things where it's like it's technology that hasn't had any like real policy written around it.

00:37:58.000 So they just could be one of those things, but we will see, Charlie.

00:38:02.000 We will see.

00:38:03.000 I just think I agree with you.

00:38:06.000 We'll see if the machine will be turned on, but is the machine controllable, right?

00:38:10.000 And also, are they going to be willing to go forward with this?

00:38:14.000 And I will say this again: is who will be the ones to blame for people rioting in the streets over quote-unquote racial injustice?

00:38:23.000 This had nothing to do with black people getting shot.

00:38:29.000 If anything, where are all the white leftists coming out and saying, well, actually, there are people in Kenosha that are saying, Joseph Rosenbaum's a hero. 0.99

00:38:36.000 Joseph is a convicted pedophile. 0.99

00:38:38.000 Child molester. 1.00

00:38:39.000 That's right. 0.76

00:38:39.000 Well, anyways, the Jacob Blake thing sparked all of this. 0.76

00:38:42.000 That's what sparked this.

00:38:42.000 Yes.

00:38:43.000 But that was during Floyd Apalooza, right?

00:38:45.000 So that was during kind of the unraveling of decent insights.

00:38:48.000 But even that wasn't an innocent black person being shot.

00:38:51.000 The guy pulled a knife and was refusing to turn his back on the cops.

00:38:54.000 And Floyd was more complicated than people realized, right?

00:38:57.000 I've been plenty vocal on that thought crime, right?

00:38:59.000 Where it very well could have been a drug overdose.

00:39:01.000 He was trading counterfeit currency, all that.

00:39:03.000 But, you know, Chauvin was convicted by a jury of his peers.

00:39:06.000 I mean, there's no way the jury would have done anything.

00:39:07.000 Well, here, even in the Floyd case, the prosecutors, the DA themselves on 60 Minutes, he was asked, was this about race?

00:39:15.000 Was this a hate crime?

00:39:16.000 That is correct.

00:39:17.000 He said no.

00:39:17.000 Not only that, Keith Ellison said that.

00:39:19.000 He said it wasn't about race, too.

00:39:20.000 He said no.

00:39:20.000 The attorney general of Minnesota came out and said that.

00:39:23.000 Yes, it was him.

00:39:23.000 It was him on 60 Minutes.

00:39:24.000 And he's a crisis. 0.98

00:39:25.000 He's despicable. 0.98

00:39:25.000 Yes. 0.98

00:39:26.000 He admitted on 60 Minutes, it was George Floyd.

00:39:29.000 We could say this live on the Charlie Kirk show.

00:39:31.000 George Floyd was not killed because he was a black man.

00:39:33.000 Of course, they even admitted it.

00:39:34.000 No, it's not true, but that they implied race where it didn't exist.

00:39:37.000 Exactly.

00:39:39.000 Because they wanted to try to build a narrative that, you know, it's all based on race.

00:39:44.000 And the crazy thing is, Chauvin earlier that day had plenty of interactions with other police folks, with other black folks, I'm sorry, and it was fine. 0.99

00:39:51.000 No issue.

00:39:52.000 So it wasn't like he was hunting people down.

00:39:54.000 And we never got a good answer between Chauvin and Floyd's personal history.

00:39:58.000 That was never really ironed out.

00:40:00.000 Do you agree that was never?

00:40:01.000 Yeah, it was never looked into.

00:40:02.000 I think it was something that should have been looked into.

00:40:04.000 But to go to your point.

00:40:05.000 I was either at a nightclub or something.

00:40:06.000 But Charlie, to go to your point about Kyle, I saw the same thing.

00:40:09.000 And I testified this under oath earlier in the night.

00:40:12.000 I watched Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:40:14.000 I have it on video.

00:40:15.000 I watched Kyle Rittenhouse de-escalate a situation with rioters that included black people with his rifle, but he didn't have to use his rifle to de-escalate the situation. 0.74

00:40:23.000 I testified that under oath because it was true.

00:40:26.000 When I testified, right?

00:40:28.000 I testified under oath that I saw, and I have it on body cam footage, I witnessed Kyle Rittenhouse, alleged white supremacist, de-escalate a situation with very agitated rioters.

00:40:40.000 And some of those rioters were black people. 0.89

00:40:43.000 Okay, so if he was this psychotic, murder-hungry white supremacist, please tell me how I saw Kyle Rittenhouse attempted and successfully de-escalate a situation with black rioters. 0.99

00:40:56.000 You bring up an interesting point. 0.97

00:40:57.000 And the point is that what would this look like if it wasn't for the citizen journalists that were there?

00:41:04.000 Oh my goodness.

00:41:05.000 You, Daily Caller.

00:41:06.000 So you deserve a lot of credit.

00:41:08.000 But like, did Elijah testify in this?

00:41:10.000 No, no, he didn't.

00:41:11.000 I can't speak to why he didn't, or we'd have to ask him.

00:41:14.000 But what I will say is that is a very scary thought.

00:41:17.000 But I want you to think about this.

00:41:18.000 So the legacy media, they would have either deleted the footage or they wouldn't have said they had it.

00:41:23.000 But this is an important point.

00:41:25.000 Kyle Rittenhouse probably walked today and was innocent because of people like you and others that stayed up to one or two in the morning to cover the arson.

00:41:34.000 That's a very big, important infrastructure win for the conservative movement.

00:41:37.000 Do you notice it's none of the think tanks in D.C. with all these big budgets?

00:41:41.000 No.

00:41:42.000 But no, instead, so let me ask you a personal question.

00:41:45.000 What compelled you to go to the streets in Kenosha?

00:41:48.000 It's dangerous.

00:41:49.000 You're not from there?

00:41:50.000 Well, this was during 2020.

00:41:52.000 We had the lockdown.

00:41:52.000 Who were you working for at the time?

00:41:54.000 By myself.

00:41:54.000 I was into myself, yeah.

00:41:56.000 So you just, you're a patriot.

00:41:58.000 You love the country, and you decided to go to Kenosha.

00:42:00.000 Yeah, because I was already in Chicago.

00:42:02.000 We were covering some BLM activity.

00:42:05.000 And then the night Jacob Blake got shot, I saw some movement on Twitter.

00:42:08.000 And the first report I saw on Kenosha was that the rioters took a brick to a police officer's head and knocked him on conscience.

00:42:15.000 So I decided to take an Uber.

00:42:17.000 I was saying, this might be a riot.

00:42:18.000 I took an Uber from Chicago all the way to Kenosha.

00:42:21.000 And right when I arrived, the first thing I literally reported on and saw was they already had a flaming dumpster truck ablaze.

00:42:28.000 Not a little one.

00:42:29.000 There's massive dumpster trucks in Kenosha that they have.

00:42:33.000 And I covered that first night, went back to Chicago to do a Tucker hit the second night.

00:42:38.000 They were riding that night.

00:42:39.000 Came back the third night.

00:42:40.000 And that's when the shootings took place.

00:42:42.000 They were riding the whole time.

00:42:43.000 Listen, I always say this, Charlie, is there was nothing peaceful about Kenosha.

00:42:47.000 It was a riot from the beginning and it was a crime scene from day one.

00:42:50.000 And so BLM comes out and they say stop white supremacy response to Rittenhouse rep verdict, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:42:56.000 But so you had the courage to go up there and cover it.

00:43:00.000 And that's a big deal because you had first-person testimony that showed the truth.

00:43:05.000 And some people say, oh, you know, these are conservative journalists on the stand.

00:43:09.000 Like, give me, like, can you talk about that?

00:43:11.000 Charlie, I'm sure you got some of that.

00:43:13.000 Oh, the prosecutor attacked, tried to prove that literally on live team binger, and it didn't go well for him.

00:43:20.000 So, hey, buddy, you might want to replay the tapes and rethink your career.

00:43:24.000 But because if someone like me could make you look like that, you know, but anyways, honestly, Charlie, I could have just showed up and with all the body cam footage I had and just had them push play and sat there and just narrated it the whole time.

00:43:40.000 I had no, I didn't need an opinion, I didn't need a bias, none of that, because I had the footage that corroborated everything I was claiming to have seen.

00:43:48.000 And a lot of people on the internet are like, oh, you're just this right-wing, you know, Trump-supporting conservative.

00:43:54.000 You were just there to save Kyle.

00:43:55.000 I was there to speak the truth.

00:43:56.000 And if you were there to save Kyle, you don't even know who Kyle was.

00:43:59.000 Never met Kyle, never met Joseph Rosenbaum.

00:44:02.000 I am just an eyewitness in this.

00:44:03.000 You were a journalist that did your job.

00:44:05.000 And that is the untold story here, which is that conservatives need to continue to be unafraid if there is something happening to get in the streets.

00:44:13.000 Because the legacy media, did they have one legacy media outlet that testified?

00:44:17.000 I don't believe so.

00:44:18.000 In favor of Kyle?

00:44:18.000 I don't believe so.

00:44:19.000 Think about that.

00:44:19.000 So you have all the drive-bys, ABC, local affiliates.

00:44:23.000 None of them got what you got, or the Daily Caller got.

00:44:26.000 That's a very interesting thing, isn't it?

00:44:28.000 Because last year in 2020, you had the lockdowns and then the riots broke out.

00:44:31.000 People were afraid to actually do this kind of stuff.

00:44:33.000 And because they're violent environments, everything I do is undercover, and people need to understand this is what needs to be done to get the truth.

00:44:40.000 With us is Jack Pesobic.

00:44:41.000 Can we get his video on screen?

00:44:43.000 Or is Jack?

00:44:44.000 Jack, I want to give you credit and praise, and you're going to have to accept it, which is you were ahead of this.

00:44:50.000 You were on top of this trial.

00:44:52.000 You were covering it extensively.

00:44:55.000 And kudos to you, Jack.

00:44:57.000 You deserve so much credit in that way.

00:44:58.000 Jack Pasobic, who does work with us at TurningpointUSA and HumanEvents.com, Human Events Daily, did more good than the multi-billion dollar legacy media institutions.

00:45:07.000 Truly, Jack, are you there?

00:45:08.000 Yeah, hey, Charlie, right here.

00:45:10.000 All right.

00:45:11.000 There you are.

00:45:11.000 You're in the lower third.

00:45:12.000 Excellent.

00:45:13.000 Jack, it's a great day to be alive.

00:45:15.000 This really is.

00:45:15.000 What is going on?

00:45:16.000 You know, Charlie, what this really is, it's, and it's amazing that you've got Drew right there because, you know, Drew, I was just doing some other media and I was giving a shout out and it really explained the dynamics here.

00:45:27.000 Is this a major victory, not just for truth, not just for justice, not just for America, really, basic American values?

00:45:36.000 This is independent media versus corporate media.

00:45:39.000 That's such a case.

00:45:41.000 All the way back to the beginning, back to the very night it took place.

00:45:44.000 If you watched corporate media and for 14 months thereafter, they told you in and out that this was an active shooter, that he crossed state lines with an AR-15 illegally, that he wanted to go and cause trouble and attack a crowd of Black Lives Matter supporters.

00:45:59.000 That's what the corporate media line was.

00:46:01.000 And then, but, and I personally, and no offense to any of the lawyers that were there, and they did a fantastic job, but personally, I really do truly believe that it was the video evidence that was provided by the intrepid, brave, and courageous journalists such as yourself, Drew, the Daily Caller team that was out there.

00:46:19.000 I know the Blades, Elijah Schaefer, people were there.

00:46:23.000 BG on the scene, of course.

00:46:25.000 He's independent, but he puts himself out in all of these things.

00:46:29.000 He ran alongside Kyle as shots were going off, as this was all happening.

00:46:33.000 Because that footage was there from independent media, who Twitter is constantly trying to throttle and shut down.

00:46:41.000 I truly believe that it is that video and the grace of God that entered into that juror's deliberation room.

00:46:49.000 And they said, you know what?

00:46:51.000 They told us one thing, but we can't see that because we see the truth and the truth has been presented to us.

00:46:57.000 And there's no way that we can put this kid behind bars in the prime of his life.

00:47:03.000 He was 17 when it happened.

00:47:04.000 He's 18 now when we can see the facts.

00:47:07.000 Imagine if the video wasn't there.

00:47:09.000 Imagine if all you had was the corporate media narrative and the corrupt, crooked prosecutors like Binger and this guy, Lunchbox on top of it.

00:47:17.000 You'd be done.

00:47:17.000 You'd be absolutely, God bless all of the work that was done by the independent media.

00:47:21.000 Of course, God bless.

00:47:23.000 You know, I pray for Kyle.

00:47:25.000 I pray for Kyle's mother.

00:47:27.000 I was joking on Twitter.

00:47:29.000 Not joking, actually.

00:47:29.000 I'm going to do this.

00:47:30.000 I wanted to send a whole package of some iPillar products to her.

00:47:33.000 And I also wanted to go in and just to say a prayer for, I saw that there was some footage of the family, the families of the people who were killed, right?

00:47:45.000 The people who did die and their family members were there.

00:47:47.000 And I think we ought to take a moment to just say, you know, nobody wants that.

00:47:52.000 No parent wants that for their child.

00:47:54.000 And just to say a prayer for them and for their repose and hope that they find grace and that they find some solace in God.

00:48:02.000 And I said it before when I was on, but I think this is, it's moments like this.

00:48:06.000 This is why God gave us prayer.

00:48:07.000 You're right.

00:48:08.000 It's that grassrootsy journalism that was willing to go to the front lines.

00:48:12.000 It told the truth.

00:48:13.000 I mean, if it was just up to MSNBC, FBI drone footage and this other, it would have been a lot of hearsay, right?

00:48:19.000 I don't know who would have testified in Kyle's behalf in that point, but it's this new kind of grassrootsy front lines.

00:48:25.000 And Andrew Breitbart was really the pioneer of a lot of this.

00:48:28.000 And James O'Keefe, this is why he's being targeted by the regime of kind of like, I'm going to go out there and do it myself.

00:48:33.000 And that is a threat to them.

00:48:37.000 Absolutely.

00:48:37.000 Because of stuff like this.

00:48:38.000 That's right.

00:48:39.000 And you know, they might have been able to lock up Kyle otherwise.

00:48:42.000 I want to tell people, you know, I just want to caution people.

00:48:46.000 Covering Antifa and Black Lives Matter is not an easy thing to do.

00:48:52.000 There's a lot of intel that's required with covering them.

00:48:55.000 Everything I've done is undercover.

00:48:57.000 I'm not trying to make myself look like this amazing person, but I just want to, I don't want people to just be like, oh, I could just go out there and cover Antifa.

00:49:04.000 There's so much, a lot of education that goes into actually being able to cover them effectively undercover because there's things that you need to know.

00:49:12.000 There's certain clothing.

00:49:14.000 There's so much nuance into effectively getting this kind of footage.

00:49:17.000 Not breaking the law.

00:49:18.000 I'm just saying you need to know your enemy.

00:49:20.000 I'll just leave it at that.

00:49:21.000 Well, yeah, and just cover it.

00:49:22.000 And you're right.

00:49:23.000 It's not a game, right?

00:49:24.000 These people will dox you.

00:49:25.000 They'll follow you.

00:49:26.000 They'll hunt you down.

00:49:27.000 They'll hurt you.

00:49:27.000 Look what they did to Kyle.

00:49:29.000 I mean, and the escalation of that entire thing was largely because is that mob psychology is a very real thing.

00:49:40.000 It's been studied clinically.

00:49:42.000 It's not as understood as it should be.

00:49:45.000 And you lose independent rationality.

00:49:49.000 Kyle Rittenhouse has acquitted everybody.

00:49:52.000 That's all I got to say.

00:49:54.000 Jack, what's the reaction out there?

00:49:55.000 What are you hearing?

00:49:56.000 But Jack, I want to start with this before we get to that.

00:49:58.000 Jack, can you go back in the Wayback Machine?

00:50:00.000 Wasn't there a certain company that dropped Kyle Rittenhouse?

00:50:03.000 Wasn't the center right afraid to touch Kyle Rittenhouse?

00:50:05.000 Wasn't he radioactive and toxic?

00:50:07.000 Talk about that because now Kyle Rittenhouse is being platformed by even some of the normies.

00:50:11.000 How'd that change?

00:50:13.000 I want to see, because I was actually digging this up and I want to see, I don't know if I have the actual quote right in front of me, but there was a company called Black Rifle Coffee that said, we don't want those people who support Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:50:28.000 We don't want them buying our product.

00:50:32.000 We want to drop this.

00:50:33.000 So Kyle posed with his lawyers in, it's like the kitchen of someone's house.

00:50:37.000 I don't know whose house it was.

00:50:37.000 And he was wearing a Black Rifle Coffee shirt.

00:50:40.000 Black Rifle Coffee promotes themselves as supporters of the Second Amendment, veterans company.

00:50:47.000 And yet, after that photo, they did this whole tweet storm and then comments really sit down with the New York Times, where there are these comments that come out, you know, sort of explaining away where they did everything they could essentially to distance themselves from Kyle and to distance themselves from anyone who supported him.

00:51:10.000 Meanwhile, you actually had Mike Lindell go in and did support that. 0.85

00:51:15.000 And Jack, didn't people get a crap for it?

00:51:17.000 People got fired for donating $10, right? 0.98

00:51:20.000 Dude, police officer is getting fired for donating to his legal defense.

00:51:24.000 $25, you know, and then they get doxxed by, again, as Drew's talking about, Antifa, this is what they do, right?

00:51:31.000 They will dox you.

00:51:32.000 We understand, this does not end that situation because the mob is still out there.

00:51:37.000 I think, what, one or two people are being prosecuted right now, even from that mob from August 25th back in Kenosha.

00:51:44.000 But we still have to actually look at the people who burned down CarSource, the people that came up from Chicago.

00:51:49.000 Of course, they crossed state lines.

00:51:51.000 And when people come to me and they say, but Jack, he shouldn't have been there.

00:51:53.000 And I say, you know what?

00:51:54.000 You're right.

00:51:54.000 He shouldn't have been there.

00:51:55.000 The mob shouldn't have been there.

00:51:56.000 None of this should have been there.

00:51:58.000 It should have been locked down.

00:52:00.000 And, you know, the National Guard should have been there.

00:52:03.000 It's not, this is not hard.

00:52:04.000 Yes.

00:52:04.000 Yes, the National Guard should have been there.

00:52:06.000 And the mainstream media shouldn't have lied about this in the first place by claiming that Jacob Blake, who Jake Taper even repeated again this year, repeated the lie that Jacob Blake was unarmed.

00:52:17.000 He was armed.

00:52:18.000 He charged police officers with a knife in his hand.

00:52:22.000 And so I suppose this is something that, you know, again, I want to re-emphasize this, though, is because it's been really interesting and fascinating in some capacity to see kind of the evolution here of how conservatives treated Rittenhouse, you know, toxic.

00:52:35.000 And I remember being at some event at some point mentioning Kyle early on, and the event organizers, I was, it was a paid, you know, it was like a paid speaking event thing.

00:52:43.000 And they're like, yeah, you know, don't do that next time.

00:52:45.000 Like, you know, so Jack, can you talk a little bit about that?

00:52:47.000 I mean, how many more chapters do we have to go through here, right?

00:52:50.000 Covington, Kavanaugh, McCloskey, till, you know, because I'm pleased to hear now that Kyle's like a hero of the American right.

00:52:59.000 I'm going to participate in that and platforming him.

00:53:01.000 And I think he should be a hero of the American right.

00:53:03.000 But Chile, David French from the wrote a whole column in the Atlantic that said we shouldn't, you know, consider Kyle a hero.

00:53:09.000 And he called it the Twitter right.

00:53:11.000 The Twitter right is making Kyle Rittenhouse a hero.

00:53:14.000 The Twitter right.

00:53:15.000 And I say, look, I don't think that vigilantism is what anyone is supporting.

00:53:21.000 People are supporting that when you have a failed state, when you have leaders that failed to stay.

00:53:26.000 That's exactly right.

00:53:27.000 Of course.

00:53:28.000 That citizens will do the right thing when they're, by the way, when they're asked to be there.

00:53:33.000 He was people continually just misconstrue the facts of this case.

00:53:38.000 He was asked to be there as long as, as well as a number of people at that car source that night.

00:53:43.000 There's video of him with the owners.

00:53:45.000 There's photos of them, you know, posing together at the event.

00:53:49.000 You know, they gave him a ride in his BMW.

00:53:52.000 He was, this is a kid who was asked to be there.

00:53:54.000 He's a lifeguard.

00:53:55.000 He was there.

00:53:56.000 I love the someone was saying, like, I actually heard at one point they called him an active shooter.

00:54:01.000 I said, oh, really?

00:54:02.000 So he was there scrubbing graffiti off the wall of the courthouse earlier in the day as a cover, as an elaborate cover for later going back. 0.60

00:54:10.000 It's ridiculous when you think about some of this stuff, right?

00:54:13.000 We have so much evidence that this is a kid who was trying to do the right thing when nobody else would.

00:54:20.000 That's right.

00:54:21.000 And when you don't have leadership and the National Guard doesn't get sent in and the police doesn't get sent in, there's things called vacuums that get created.

00:54:27.000 And don't be surprised, in chaos, things happen that they shouldn't.

00:54:31.000 Within that vacuum.

00:54:32.000 Remember, nobody attacks the rooftop Koreans from the LA riots.

00:54:36.000 Well, no, during the Rodney King riots.

00:54:39.000 And that was self-defense.

00:54:40.000 The Sunni King riots of LA 1990.

00:54:41.000 And by the way, that did not end till H.W. Bush signed the Insurrection Act, just so everyone's history is very clear.

00:54:47.000 There were active duty Marines in Los Angeles.

00:54:49.000 Yeah, well, and the story is really interesting, which is that the whole city was burning.

00:54:53.000 And this is the power of the Insurrection Act, which is why I wanted Trump to sign it last summer.

00:54:57.000 Is that those riots ended in 90 minutes as soon as the tank showed up?

00:55:01.000 It was so quick.

00:55:02.000 The Insurrection Act goes all the way back to Shays' Rebellion, actually, with George Washington back in the founding of the country.

00:55:07.000 Jack, but you deserve a lot of people.

00:55:09.000 But it's also part of the reason, I'll throw this one at you.

00:55:11.000 It's also part of the reason that Washington, D.C. is not a state because if it wasn't, then you might then the defense of that is directly under the federal government.

00:55:21.000 You don't want to have a situation where the governor of Washington, D.C., like the mayor of D.C. right now, is in conflict with the federal government.

00:55:30.000 That's right.

00:55:30.000 And so, as a new chapter of this now, I think, I mean, and Bill de Blasio is tweeting out, right?

00:55:38.000 He's tweeting, again, he's a joke.

00:55:40.000 He says, Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum are victims.

00:55:44.000 They should be alive too.

00:55:46.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:55:47.000 What about the victims of Rosenbaum?

00:55:49.000 What about the little boys that he molested?

00:55:50.000 You know, what about them?

00:55:52.000 As Tucker said, he died as five people.

00:55:55.000 There are five people.

00:55:57.000 You know, I don't know if their ages are.

00:55:59.000 They're probably five adults now, five adult men that were victimized by Joseph Rosenbaum horrifically.

00:56:08.000 I've read the court documents, and honestly, I would not recommend anyone reading those documents to hear what he did to these kids.

00:56:14.000 But there are five of them who are probably sitting back right now and saying, well, we knew this was coming.

00:56:21.000 We knew this day was coming.

00:56:22.000 So he continues by saying, the only reason they're not alive is because of a violent, dangerous man who chose to take a gun across state lines and start shooting people.

00:56:34.000 To call this a miscarriage of justice is just an understatement.

00:56:36.000 There it is.

00:56:36.000 Bill de Plasio, do you want to be sued too?

00:56:38.000 What do you think, Jack?

00:56:40.000 What did I just say, Charlie? 0.58

00:56:41.000 I told you they're going to continue with this narrative because they know that the radical left, these neo-Marxists, the crazy socialists out there, these psycho anti-Americans, this is what they want to hear.

00:56:52.000 And they're going to stroke the flames of violence with statements like this because they want to keep the narrative, even though the reality is he was just acquitted.

00:57:00.000 Not guilty.

00:57:01.000 Self-defense.

00:57:03.000 They want the violence to continue.

00:57:04.000 And Jack, Jack, you know that this is true.

00:57:07.000 You know that they continue to want these things in these cities because it gives them more power over the people because they control through fear.

00:57:14.000 They want people to be afraid.

00:57:15.000 Kenosha was a sitting duck for three days.

00:57:19.000 I was there.

00:57:20.000 It was a sitting duck for three days.

00:57:22.000 So the Griff, they're all going to double down.

00:57:24.000 They're all going to say systemic racism.

00:57:26.000 This just proves every Joy Reed, right?

00:57:28.000 You look at it through the Joy Reid filter.

00:57:30.000 If he had been found guilty, Joy Reed would have said, I know, she's my favorite show on cable. 0.96

00:57:35.000 I watch it every night.

00:57:36.000 I literally do.

00:57:37.000 It's the most entertaining show there is.

00:57:38.000 It's performance art, is what it is.

00:57:40.000 It's also the, it also is what Ron Klein, the chief of staff of the White House, reads every night or watches every night.

00:57:47.000 So you know that when she's talking, she's talking directly to Ron.

00:57:50.000 And that's where you get your government from is Joy Reed. 0.99

00:57:53.000 So if he had been found guilty, she would have said, we got our guy.

00:57:57.000 If he had been found not guilty, she's going to say, this proves systemic racism.

00:58:01.000 This proves this country is corrupt.

00:58:02.000 This country was built on a lie, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

00:58:05.000 And so they are going to double down because they have to.

00:58:08.000 They've boxed themselves into a corner the same way that Rosenbaum cornered Kyle Rittenhouse in that parking lot between the cars parked there.

00:58:17.000 And they don't have anywhere else to go.

00:58:19.000 So they are going to have to double down on this if politically they ever want to survive.

00:58:24.000 And that unfortunately is a problem.

00:58:25.000 The question is, and I think we're starting to see this because we've now got a barometer from those 12 people in that jury room that they're going to say, you know what?

00:58:33.000 This stuff, it's all fake and it's always been fake.

00:58:36.000 And we've got the evidence and we can and react.

00:58:39.000 There is an objective reality.

00:58:40.000 There is objective truth.

00:58:42.000 There is no your truth and my truth and relative truth.

00:58:45.000 No, it's out the window.

00:58:46.000 When you are put to the test.

00:58:49.000 So I want to play some.

00:58:52.000 I want to play some tape here.

00:58:53.000 Let's play cut 112 of some reaction of what's going on.

00:58:56.000 Let's play cut 112.

00:58:59.000 Somehow, some way, those 12 jurors that had the evidence once again found that he was innocent of the charges.

00:59:10.000 Yet we have two young men that'll never be walking through the doors of their families again.

00:59:17.000 We need at this point to pray for their families.

00:59:22.000 We need to pray for their families.

00:59:27.000 It's cut 113.

00:59:28.000 Gets better.

00:59:30.000 As a former prosecutor, this strikes me as an odd situation for self-defense.

00:59:34.000 It's something akin to saying that if you go into a bank and rob it and people are trying to apprehend you, you can then shoot your way out and claim self-defense.

00:59:44.000 You know, that's a little bit of what Kyle Rittenhouse did.

00:59:47.000 He created this problem and then he proceeded to threaten people to get out.

00:59:52.000 But the defense did a good enough job here of convincing jurors.

00:59:55.000 This was a unanimous verdict on all counts.

00:59:58.000 This jury was thoroughly convinced.

01:00:01.000 Did she say she was a former prosecutor?

01:00:03.000 Gee, I wonder why.

01:00:04.000 But I mean, that's how prosecutors think.

01:00:06.000 Jack, I mean, this is the narrative that somehow today we have seen the end of Binger.

01:00:12.000 Well, I mean, but done.

01:00:13.000 But I mean, I want you to think about how people like her should never have power.

01:00:18.000 She's literally.

01:00:19.000 This is, folks, this is the problem, right?

01:00:20.000 Because we have a completely politicized criminal justice system.

01:00:25.000 Of course, you've got guys like Binger in there.

01:00:27.000 They're not looking at Kyle Rittenhouse.

01:00:28.000 He's not even, he doesn't even honestly care about the merits of this case.

01:00:31.000 He cares about his career.

01:00:32.000 He cares about wanting to run for, he's a liberal Democrat.

01:00:35.000 He wants to run for DA after this.

01:00:37.000 We've got to try.

01:00:38.000 He probably will try again.

01:00:39.000 And because I've actually heard, I was just told last night that the current city attorney of Kenosha is, or and possibly also the county DA are looking at, you know, possibly not running again, just retiring.

01:00:51.000 And so Binger has got those stars in his eyes, even though he's from Racine, that he wants to run for office.

01:00:56.000 So Kyle, to him, is just a means to an end.

01:00:59.000 It's all a game.

01:01:00.000 It's all about how do I win?

01:01:02.000 How do I play the cards right?

01:01:04.000 It's a chess match.

01:01:06.000 And you could see this with in terms of Lunchbox and in terms of Binger in there, that they don't even look at Kyle Rittenhouse as an actual human being.

01:01:15.000 They look at him as just someone like playing a video game that's a character who needs to be defeated.

01:01:19.000 Like an NPC that we could just blast off the earth.

01:01:23.000 Spendable.

01:01:24.000 They politicize it.

01:01:25.000 They use him as a political.

01:01:26.000 He's a non-player character.

01:01:28.000 Get him off, right?

01:01:29.000 Just like means nothing.

01:01:31.000 Means at the end.

01:01:32.000 Pure Machiavellianism.

01:01:33.000 And by the way, Kyle, that reaction, I don't know if you have that video of Kyle's initial reaction.

01:01:39.000 He collapsed in court.

01:01:40.000 Yes.

01:01:40.000 Tears of joy.

01:01:41.000 We do.

01:01:41.000 This is not a guy.

01:01:42.000 And let's be clear about this, folks.

01:01:45.000 When he was on the stand, he exhibited textbook signs, classic signs of PTSD.

01:01:51.000 This is someone who has been through an extremely traumatic experience.

01:01:55.000 They literally were going to kill him, right?

01:01:57.000 They were going to kill him. 0.89

01:01:58.000 Gage Grosskrutz, with one loaded in the chamber, was about to run up and kill him.

01:02:04.000 And so he's been through that plus the last 14 months.

01:02:07.000 That's something that he's going to have to live with for the rest of his life.

01:02:11.000 And I really do pray and hope that he gets the help he needs to deal with that.

01:02:15.000 This is not someone that the way the media is trying to portray him as this unrepentant, you know, raggedocious murderer or something.

01:02:22.000 No, he's dealt with a lot of trauma.

01:02:24.000 He's internalized it.

01:02:25.000 But at a very young age like that, that's where my heart goes to, and that's where my mind goes to, that you got to think about the person and the people involved here.

01:02:33.000 CNN legal contributor says, I knew it.

01:02:36.000 Kyle Rittenhouse is proof that white people can still break the law, carry illegal weapons, shoot and kill people, and get away with it in America by shedding tears and claiming self-defense. 0.96

01:02:46.000 CNN. 0.99

01:02:47.000 See, those are the NPCs, Charlie.

01:02:48.000 Those are the actual NPCs because this is a pre-programmed response.

01:02:52.000 Yes, that's right.

01:02:53.000 I told you exactly what they all would say, and here they all come up saying it.

01:02:56.000 Precisely Pavlovian.

01:02:58.000 That's right.

01:02:58.000 No, it's Pavlovian.

01:02:59.000 That's right.

01:02:59.000 You ring the bell, they go to it.

01:03:00.000 Let's play that cut again of Kyle Rittenhouse collapsing in court.

01:03:03.000 Cut 109.

01:03:04.000 We the jury, find the defendant, Kyle H. Rittenhouse, not guilty.

01:03:09.000 As to the fifth count of the information, Gage Grosskoritz, we the jury, find the defendant, Kyle Abrid, Kyle H. Ritthouse, not guilty.

01:03:20.000 Members of the jury, are these your unanimous verdicts?

01:03:24.000 Collapses.

01:03:25.000 It's huge, man.

01:03:26.000 It's huge.

01:03:27.000 He's collapsing, like I said earlier, not because he's someone that believes, oh, I got off the hook.

01:03:32.000 No, that is someone that understood that there was a lie against him and that his life was about to be destroyed because of that lie.

01:03:39.000 And that is why Kyle Rittenhouse's knees buckled in that moment.

01:03:41.000 That's that's the weight of the world being lifted off your shoulders by that's what that is.

01:03:46.000 Absolutely.

01:03:46.000 And I do, but look, the same way, and I've, I've, I've said this to people before, and I don't know if I said it publicly yet, but I believe there was a guardian angel with it.

01:03:56.000 Kyle Rittenhouse does not have weapons training.

01:03:59.000 He's not a veteran.

01:04:01.000 He's, you know, done some stuff with these cadet courses.

01:04:04.000 He's gone and shot his gun one time with his buddy out in the woods.

01:04:08.000 I believe a guardian angel was involved with him that night.

01:04:11.000 And I believe that there was divine intervention in that jury room when they came in there and said, you cannot put him away for this.

01:04:20.000 You cannot.

01:04:21.000 This is a kid who was scared for his life.

01:04:25.000 And he acted not in self-defense, but to save his own life.

01:04:30.000 And actually, Binger says it at one point, right?

01:04:31.000 Binger actually says that there's that scene where Gage Grosskroit actually runs up to him with his phone and he's on like Facebook Live yelling at him, Did you do the shooting?

01:04:41.000 Did you shoot anybody?

01:04:42.000 And Kyle goes, He goes, No, I'm trying to get to the police.

01:04:45.000 If you're trying to get to the police, you're not going to try.

01:04:46.000 And then Binger cuts it off and says, You see that?

01:04:49.000 Kyle lied.

01:04:50.000 Kyle lied just to save his skin.

01:04:52.000 And I'm like, Yes, exactly.

01:04:55.000 Everything he did that night was to save his skin.

01:04:57.000 He would have said anything to de-escalate that situation because they were trying to kill him. 1.00

01:05:01.000 You idiot, you stupid idiot. 1.00

01:05:04.000 People like this in positions of power need to be dealt with. 1.00

01:05:07.000 That's why I say reject bingerism in all of its forms. 1.00

01:05:11.000 It is not enough to merely be against bingerism.

01:05:15.000 You must be actively anti-bingerism.

01:05:18.000 Bingerist. 0.99

01:05:19.000 So actively anti-bingerist.

01:05:20.000 Cut 115.

01:05:21.000 A woman interviewed on MSNBC.

01:05:23.000 She says, You know what this is?

01:05:24.000 This is the same as during slave times when people were paid to hunt down blacks. 0.79

01:05:28.000 Yep.

01:05:28.000 Play cut 115.

01:05:30.000 Again, the jack hold on.

01:05:31.000 Cut 115.

01:05:39.000 My question to you is: what was your reaction to the verdict?

01:05:43.000 My reaction was both sadness, heartbreak, and unfortunately, not surprised.

01:05:51.000 Knowing the history of vigilante justice in this country, all the way back to times of enslavement when people would be deputized to go out and track down enslaved persons who ran away to lynching mobs.

01:06:07.000 And this is 2021.

01:06:08.000 And unfortunately, heartbreak, sadness, but I wasn't surprised.

01:06:14.000 What's sad is that you have bought into such a propagated lie and you actually live your life this way.

01:06:21.000 And I'm not saying this in an assaulting manner, but this is so concerning.

01:06:26.000 Charlie, this is like the peak peak level of people just totally believing these major lives.

01:06:32.000 I think you need to reflect on your white privilege.

01:06:34.000 Because that's really Drew Hernandez.

01:06:37.000 Yeah, you know, we just admit it.

01:06:38.000 Charlie, come on, let's go full mask off. 1.00

01:06:40.000 This is all about white privilege, isn't it?

01:06:43.000 This isn't about evidence or video or ancient Roman and Western civilizations, you know, traditions of being able to defend yourself and the inherent right to life, which means the inherent right to self-defense incorporated.

01:06:57.000 No, no, no.

01:06:57.000 It's just white privilege.

01:06:59.000 So we have some announcements.

01:07:00.000 Everybody, can we announce it, Connor and Andrew?

01:07:02.000 I'm being teased to tell.

01:07:03.000 Everyone says I should.

01:07:04.000 Yeah.

01:07:06.000 Kyle's going to come on the Charlie Kirk show in the next couple of days.

01:07:09.000 So if you guys want to hear that, you guys want to hear that conversation?

01:07:14.000 Subscribe to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast as soon as it happens.

01:07:18.000 So make sure you take out your phone type in Charlie Kirk Show, upper right-hand corner.

01:07:21.000 You guys are going to want to hear our exclusive conversation with Kyle himself.

01:07:25.000 We are going to be one of the first, I think we're the second show that gets to have him, right?

01:07:28.000 Is that right?

01:07:29.000 Well, we've been defending him.

01:07:31.000 And Jack, I might have you co-host that because I think you earned it.

01:07:35.000 So I think that would be a lot of fun.

01:07:36.000 I hear there's a certain prime time cable show that he may also be going on.

01:07:42.000 Yes, that's right.

01:07:43.000 And so we get number two in line, Jack.

01:07:45.000 But if anyone's earned a chance to talk to Kyle on air, it's been you.

01:07:50.000 You were, I honestly looked back on Telegram.

01:07:52.000 I typed in Rittenhouse.

01:07:54.000 And Jack, you were telegramming us like three weeks.

01:07:57.000 You were like, we're three weeks out to the Rittenhouse trial, two weeks out to the Rittenhouse trial.

01:08:01.000 You were beating the drum, man.

01:08:03.000 And I mean, Drew, you, so talk a little bit about it.

01:08:06.000 When were you contacted to testify?

01:08:08.000 How did that whole process unfold?

01:08:10.000 And you're probably a little nervous.

01:08:12.000 That's a big deal.

01:08:13.000 So both sides were trying to reach out to me for a while.

01:08:13.000 It's a huge deal.

01:08:17.000 And, you know, I was really considering it, thinking about it, going over it with my family.

01:08:21.000 Wanted to be wise with what I was going to do.

01:08:23.000 So you were not summoned, basically.

01:08:25.000 No, I was not summoned, but I was declared a potential witness at the beginning of the trial.

01:08:30.000 And then I saw things begin to unfold.

01:08:33.000 And so I reached out and I agreed.

01:08:35.000 You felt a moral obligation.

01:08:36.000 I did.

01:08:36.000 I did because I saw and I sensed the evil that was taking place.

01:08:40.000 And even in the courtroom when I was testifying, when I was literally having the truth speaking out, they were laughing at me when I was speaking the truth.

01:08:45.000 So, you know, I felt like it was my civic duty to go into that environment and to tell the truth because of how serious this really is.

01:08:53.000 It was not a matter of could it have been something wrong he did?

01:08:57.000 No, it was a matter of this is what literally happened.

01:09:00.000 And they like, like we're talking about today, they're trying to spin this narrative.

01:09:04.000 And I'm just thankful to God that I was able to go there at such a short notice and just share the truth and give them all the footage I had because, you know, we'll hear what the jury has to say if they write a book or something in the future.

01:09:18.000 I don't know.

01:09:19.000 But I just know that I had to do what I had to do regardless of what the verdict was going to be because I knew that there was so much truth in all of that body cam footage that I gave them that needed to be seen.

01:09:30.000 Well, and again, I just got a I just got a message from the White House official that I speak to sometimes just shot me a text.

01:09:40.000 Biden is joking around Biden's.

01:09:43.000 So I've talked before how there's two sides.

01:09:45.000 I thought Biden's having a colonoscopy right now.

01:09:47.000 Right.

01:09:47.000 Well, I think he just ended.

01:09:48.000 I think it actually just ended.

01:09:49.000 But that means he's got a little anesthesia hangover.

01:09:52.000 So apparently some people in the Biden staff are saying, oh, Kyle walks.

01:09:52.000 Right, right.

01:09:58.000 Thanks, President Kamala.

01:10:00.000 That's funny.

01:10:02.000 That's going to be her crowning achievement.

01:10:04.000 They got jokes.

01:10:06.000 My favorite new meme is a meme right here.

01:10:08.000 Look at this one.

01:10:09.000 It's so great.

01:10:09.000 We've got to put this up.

01:10:10.000 I just sent it.

01:10:11.000 It's a picture of two mega yachts in the south of like in Greece, and one says Rittenhouse, the other one says Sen.

01:10:17.000 I'm telling you, those two are going to collab.

01:10:20.000 No, it's like, imagine a picture of two mega yachts in like the south of France, and one says Rittenhouse, and the other one says Sandman.

01:10:29.000 Wow.

01:10:30.000 Yeah, basically.

01:10:31.000 Jack, I'm curious, Jack, what do you think Kyle's next move will be going on the offense after this defamation?

01:10:39.000 Well, I think it's going to be tricky, right?

01:10:41.000 Because, and I was listening to Will Chamberlain's analysis of this over at Human Events, and I defer to Will for a lot of this stuff.

01:10:48.000 And it is going to be tricky because you are going to have to, in any of these things, you're going to have to prove malice.

01:10:54.000 And so, that's always going to be tricky because keep in mind, Nick Salmon was never accused of a crime.

01:10:59.000 He's never charged with anything, but Kyle Rittenhouse was.

01:11:02.000 And so, all of these companies, now, that being said, I think Kyle should go and sue the pants off of everybody.

01:11:08.000 And I hope that someone has archived every single piece of MSNBC coverage and CNN coverage, and Washington Post, the New York Times, and all the rest of them.

01:11:17.000 And all the tweets, by the way, you know, I've got the tweets.

01:11:20.000 That being said, Will pointed out that there's going to be a massive, you know, what there's going to be, it's going to be tough, but I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what.

01:11:27.000 Preserve your documents, number one, and just get your checkbook out.

01:11:30.000 And by the way, Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Zuckerberg, who declared on Facebook within days, within hours of this incident, that Kyle Rittenhouse was a mass murderer and that you couldn't post anything in support of Kyle Rittenhouse.

01:11:46.000 You couldn't share his legal defense link.

01:11:48.000 By the way, we believe in what Thomas Moore said all those years ago: that everyone deserves a fair trial, everyone deserves the full merit of law.

01:11:55.000 That Facebook shut that down for him, that he was not able to do that.

01:11:59.000 So, Mark Zuckerberg, I'll put it this way: preserve your records, Mark.

01:12:03.000 Preserve your records.

01:12:06.000 So, we're going to have to break soon, everybody.

01:12:08.000 Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.

01:12:22.000 Jack, I might have you co-host it if we can make the stars align on that.

01:12:26.000 You know, it's the least we could do for all the good you've done to our country.

01:12:28.000 And Drew, we're going to have to have you back.

01:12:30.000 You're great, man.

01:12:30.000 Plug something so that people can follow you around.

01:12:32.000 Yeah, I will be on Tucker Carlson tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern speaking about this not guilty verdict.

01:12:38.000 So, people need to tune in tonight because this is going to be a massive show.

01:12:41.000 Love my boy Tucker.

01:12:43.000 I'll see every single one of you guys tonight.

01:12:45.000 And, Charlie, thank you for having me, bro.

01:12:47.000 You're terrific.

01:12:48.000 And I want to thank you for having the courage to testify and the courage to go in the streets.

01:12:53.000 The Lord had you there for a reason, right?

01:12:55.000 Against darkness, that you were able to get the story out.

01:12:59.000 And no one likes it when people die.

01:13:01.000 That's not what we like.

01:13:02.000 But self-defense is a moral and biblical value.

01:13:05.000 Let me say that again: self-defense is a moral and biblical value to defend to defend your life against the threat of another is defended in the moral constitution and biblical context in more ways than one.

01:13:17.000 Jack, any closing thoughts?

01:13:20.000 My biggest closing thought on this is that the corporate media is going to want retaliation for this.

01:13:25.000 They are going to want to gin things up.

01:13:27.000 They are going to look for a way to shift the narrative as fast as possible, and they are going to come back with the vengeance.

01:13:33.000 We've seen how they're cracking down on dissidents like James O'Keefe, like others.

01:13:37.000 The January 6th committee is out there.

01:13:39.000 Peter Navarro has just been subpoenaed by a COVID committee.

01:13:42.000 You are going to see them coming back with a vengeance because they know that they took the L here and they know that they are losing their grip on the people of this country. 1.00

01:13:51.000 Well, their current focus is this big spending bill.

01:13:53.000 I think that's where they're going to really try to focus all their troops, in my personal opinion.

01:13:58.000 That's their big thing.

01:13:59.000 But it's a win for justice and a win for Kyle.

01:14:02.000 And he'll be joining the Charlie Kirk show for one of his first interviews.

01:14:06.000 Actually, he's going to a certain cable television channel, and then he's coming with us.
