00:02:24.000 Glory Glory, hello everybody.

00:02:44.000 Happy veterans day to everyone who has served across the country.

00:02:48.000 We have many veterans on our team here on the Charlie Kirk Show and we thank you and salute you on this veterans day.

00:02:55.000 Unfortunately, our veterans are being treated horribly by the current regime and you know I get asked questions all the time as we travel the country.

00:03:03.000 Charlie, my son wants to serve in the military.

00:03:07.000 Would you recommend that?

00:03:09.000 And I say quite honestly, I don't know.

00:03:11.000 I don't know if I would trust the current president with serving in the United States military, and that's a sad thing to say.

00:03:17.000 The current commander in chief cannot be trusted, but our veterans can, and so thank you for your wonderful service.

00:03:24.000 So much to get to today.

00:03:25.000 We're going to talk hopefully, a little bit about that topic later this hour.

00:03:28.000 Okay, so the Kyle Rittenhouse drama is continuing to unfold in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

00:03:35.000 We are actually going to have the spokesperson for the Rittenhouse family here on the program as we are going to talk about some of the details of the case.

00:03:44.000 But what happened yesterday you could watch court tv for 20 years And not have seen what happened yesterday.

00:03:54.000 What happened yesterday was exceptional on a variety of different levels.

00:03:57.000 And we made the argument yesterday that what was unfolding in the Rittenhouse drama was more than just the typical cross-examination and the unfolding of due process and the rule of law.

00:04:13.000 To see a judge scold the prosecution like that, to see a witness take the stand in his own defense and then see the activist drive-by media spring into concern as they have not cared about this case at all the last couple weeks.

00:04:28.000 It's been page 942,000 of the New York Times, all of a sudden being the number one news story in the country.

00:04:37.000 And we were covering the Rittenhouse drama plenty.

00:04:40.000 Front page of the New York Times, they're finally caring about Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:04:43.000 They got their mascot. 0.98

00:04:44.000 They have the young white AR-15 wielding male who wore fatigues and is prowling the streets to go kill people.

00:04:53.000 And to take a step back from what we've seen in Kenosha with the three different types of people, we are kind of three different types of characters involved.

00:05:04.000 You have Kyle Rittenhouse, the young white, muscular class, middle-class member who was in the volunteer firefighter force, who was a lifeguard, who was just trying to find his place in life.

00:05:18.000 A very typical northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin high schooler.

00:05:22.000 I grew up with kids like him.

00:05:24.000 I know exactly the type of upbringing that he was around.

00:05:28.000 I know the type of worldview he has.

00:05:32.000 Nothing radical, insurrectionist in Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:05:36.000 There is zero evidence of that whatsoever.

00:05:38.000 And remember, Joe Biden from his Twitter account called him a white supremacist.

00:05:44.000 Then you have the prosecution, which is the self-loathing, self-hating, college-educated, as Tucker Carlson beautifully put it, typical NPR pledge donor prosecution.

00:05:59.000 And then you have the judge, the judge who was appointed by a Democrat who actually still loves the Constitution.

00:06:07.000 The judge who was appointed by a Democrat who scolded and admonished the prosecution yesterday for being out of line.

00:06:17.000 And what you saw yesterday is more than just the specifics and the details of the Rittenhouse case.

00:06:23.000 And we'll go through those again, but it's a rather simple case.

00:06:27.000 It's that self-defense is a human right.

00:06:30.000 Self-defense is a right, not a privilege.

00:06:33.000 That Kyle Rittenhouse, while he was on his back, decided in defense of his own life to then use the AR-15 against other deadly force.

00:06:45.000 And what's been interesting to see in the last couple of days is how the media has covered this.

00:06:50.000 And in fact, some people thought that Kyle Rittenhouse was hunting others in the streets and was going after conflict, where the video clearly shows that Kyle Rittenhouse was the one that was hunted.

00:07:01.000 We've said this all along, but the prosecution and the activist drive-by media has been happy to be a co-partner in the smear and the sabotage and the character assassination campaign against an innocent young man, Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:07:15.000 So Kyle Rittenhouse took the stand in his own defense.

00:07:19.000 And at first, I thought that was a mistake, and I questioned the wisdom.

00:07:22.000 I'm still not sure it was a great decision, but I can see some of the benefit from it.

00:07:30.000 It humanized Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:07:32.000 It showed that Kyle Rittenhouse is not some sort of militia-sympathizing character.

00:07:42.000 Not that there's anything necessarily wrong with peaceful militias.

00:07:47.000 I'm just saying that he's some sort of whatever type of archetype the cable drive-bys want to think, that he's the type of person that everything needs to be designed against.

00:07:58.000 And so right on schedule, Joy Reed last night decided to go all in and continue the smear and to continue the slander of an innocent young man, Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:08:12.000 And Joy Reed is a race baiter.

00:08:14.000 She is Al Sharpton, but actually not as gifted because Al Sharpton used to extort millions of dollars from companies and never paid his taxes, of course.

00:08:24.000 And so Joy Reed comes out and she is now, she's an MSNBC host. 1.00

00:08:30.000 No one watches her show.

00:08:31.000 We just get the clips because it's for entertainment purposes.

00:08:34.000 But also, people in the smart community think Joy Reed is worthy of coming on her show.

00:08:41.000 She comes out and she says, cut 87.

00:08:44.000 The Rittenhouse trial is white privilege on steroids, describing Rittenhouse's emotional breakdown as the greatest performance of his life.

00:08:53.000 So Joy Reed accuses Kyle Rittenhouse of being a play actor while he breaks down with classic, let's say, symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.

00:09:06.000 You see, everyone listening right now across the country on radio and live stream, you hear that?

00:09:10.000 If your child who happens to be white or grandchild ever gets involved in self-defense, they're going to have to be slandered by Joy Reed as being a play actor.

00:09:21.000 Play cut 87.

00:09:22.000 Joy, today the jurors saw what must be the greatest performance of Kyle Rittenhouse's life.

00:09:29.000 He was well prepared by his defense attorneys to disrupt his image as a trigger happy vigilante who went on a shooting rampage.

00:09:39.000 This is white privilege on steroids. 0.97

00:09:44.000 So that was Paul Butler.

00:09:45.000 That was not Joy Reed on the show that said that.

00:09:49.000 And trigger happy vigilante, nothing in the case even gets close to that.

00:09:54.000 And by the way, he's a former federal prosecutor.

00:09:56.000 People like him used to be in charge of putting people in jail.

00:10:00.000 Chris Hayes on MSNBC says, do we want a society in which political conflict is settled on the streets between people with guns?

00:10:07.000 One in which everyone is armed and can therefore view the other person as a plausible threat?

00:10:11.000 Let's just take a timeout.

00:10:13.000 Why was this a problem?

00:10:15.000 It was a problem because the police were not doing their job and because the National Guard was not deployed by Governor Evers, all under the series of Floyd Apalooza, where Jacob Blake was killed.

00:10:27.000 I don't even think Jacob Blake was killed.

00:10:29.000 He was just shot, right?

00:10:30.000 He was paralyzed.

00:10:31.000 Is that right?

00:10:32.000 Shot in Kenosha.

00:10:33.000 Therefore, we say, well, we got to let him destroy.

00:10:35.000 We got to let him get it out of their system.

00:10:37.000 Play cut 84.

00:10:40.000 If you're watching this and you're a gun owner or someone who considers yourself a defender of the Second Amendment, abstractly, right?

00:10:49.000 Ask yourself, do we want a society in which political conflict is settled on the streets between people with guns?

00:10:56.000 One in which everyone is armed and can therefore view the other people armed as a plausible threat?

00:11:04.000 And that's not even what closes, this is not even close to what that's about.

00:11:07.000 Instead, it's a simple case of self-defense.

00:11:10.000 But the media wants so badly, Kyle Rittenhouse, to be guilty because all they have is the narrative. 0.99

00:11:19.000 All they have is the narrative is that white people are walking in the streets trying to murder black people. 0.67

00:11:29.000 Are you worried about America's future? 0.94

00:11:31.000 Times of trouble are full of reasons to despair, but those who built and have preserved our country did not despair.

00:11:38.000 And if we are going to do our part, we need to draw on the books, the history, and the ideas that gave our forefathers and mothers strength and inspiration.

00:11:48.000 Hillsdale College, the beacon of the North, the last college, was founded in 1844 to teach all of these things, and it teaches them still today.

00:11:56.000 The great news is that we can study all these things along with Hillsdale College professors right in our homes.

00:12:02.000 I take the Hillsdale online courses.

00:12:04.000 And in fact, I'm going to go to Hillsdale right now to charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:12:08.000 I'm going to show you directly how I'm doing with my online courses.

00:12:11.000 And I'm going to tell you what courses I have finished, and you guys can do it alongside me.

00:12:15.000 Boom! 0.99

00:12:15.000 Finish Introduction to Western Philosophy. 0.99

00:12:17.000 Boom.

00:12:18.000 Finish Western Heritage.

00:12:19.000 Boom.

00:12:19.000 Finish Intro to the Constitution.

00:12:21.000 Boom.

00:12:21.000 Finish Constitution 101.

00:12:23.000 Finish Winston Churchill and statesmanship.

00:12:25.000 I am starting and working my way through a proper understanding of K through 12 education and theory and practice.

00:12:30.000 The great American story, A Land of Hope.

00:12:31.000 That is a big lift, everybody.

00:12:33.000 I encourage you to do it.

00:12:34.000 Introduction to C.S. Lewis, Writings and Significance, The Presidency and the Constitution, the Genesis story, reading biblical narratives, and civil rights in American history.

00:12:42.000 I'm working my way through all of them, but things that matter take work.

00:12:46.000 And through Hillsdale's free online courses, we can study the history of our civilization, the wisdom of our ancient and Christian philosophers, the writings of Shakespeare and Mark Twain.

00:12:54.000 We can reacquaint ourselves with our Constitution and we can learn how the Constitution has been undermined and more importantly, how it can be recovered.

00:13:01.000 My friends, as we fight in the defense of family, faith, and freedom, let us draw on the best of the past with Hillsdale's guidance to save the greatest nation on earth.

00:13:23.000 So how will the jury rule?

00:13:27.000 Well, let's take a step back.

00:13:29.000 What if someone was threatening violence because of a verdict they don't like?

00:13:38.000 We went into great detail during the Floyd trial on how many activists, including Maxine Waters, who's an activist who calls herself a congresswoman, said that they are going to take it to the streets if they don't get a ruling or a judgment that is satisfactory to them.

00:13:58.000 Now, we're seeing this in many different manifestations.

00:14:04.000 The new America we live in, and you're not even allowed to mention, you're not even allowed to question this, is Black Lives Matter leader Hank Newsom,

00:14:18.000 in regards to new policing measures in New York, says there will be riots, fire, and bloodshed if mayor-elect Eric Adams follows through with his promise to bring black plainclothes anti-crime cops to battle New York surge in violent crime.

00:14:35.000 You hear that?

00:14:37.000 So Hank Newsom says that if we in New York, if they put police back on the streets to try to lower crime, he is threatening the entire civilization.

00:14:49.000 He says, quote, if they think they're going to go back to the old ways of policing, then we're going to take the streets again.

00:14:54.000 New York BLM co-founder Hank Newsom said.

00:14:58.000 Now, Eric Adams is going to be the next mayor of New York City, and he's going to have this issue on his hands.

00:15:04.000 In addition, George Floyd's nephew threatens the jurors in the Kyle Rittenhouse case.

00:15:10.000 Where's the Department of Justice?

00:15:12.000 Where is anyone saying, hey, you know what's illegal to film jurors and their identities?

00:15:18.000 We played this yesterday, but it's such an extraordinary clip.

00:15:21.000 Play cut 32, George Floyd's nephew threatens jurors in the Kyle Rittenhouse case.

00:15:26.000 PlayCut 32.

00:15:27.000 I ain't even going to name the people that I know that's up in the Kenosha, I mean, in the Kenosha trial.

00:15:32.000 But there's cameras in there.

00:15:33.000 There's definitely cameras up in there, and there's definitely people taking pictures of the juries and everything like that.

00:15:38.000 We know what's going on.

00:15:39.000 So we need the same results, man.

00:15:41.000 We need the same results.

00:15:42.000 Justice for Dante Wright, justice for Arsenal.

00:15:45.000 We need the same results.

00:15:47.000 And he says, we know who the jurors are.

00:15:48.000 We got plenty of cameras in there.

00:15:50.000 Has the Floyd's nephew been arrested by the FBI for his threat?

00:15:54.000 You are not allowed to intimidate jurors.

00:15:55.000 That is a sacred, untouchable violation.

00:16:00.000 All of a sudden, we are now in a system where you're allowed to say we are going to name the names of the jurors.

00:16:04.000 We have pictures and videos of them.

00:16:06.000 We're going to out them.

00:16:08.000 We've already had the manipulation of jurors for some time.

00:16:10.000 Roger Stone, when he was indicted, went through a completely fraudulent process of jurors that were posting social media articles against Donald Trump.

00:16:21.000 Not to mention one of the jurors in the George Floyd case actually went to a George Floyd rally and then talked about it afterwards.

00:16:29.000 That whole trial should have been thrown out, but it's because of the public pressure of the racial reckoning that we've been living through.

00:16:37.000 Now, understand Kyle Rittenhouse's trial is a threat to the extent of how the justice system plays itself out.

00:16:46.000 Kyle Rittenhouse defended himself, but this was during this BLM moment.

00:16:53.000 And if he's going to get acquitted, which he should be, he should walk free of any charges whatsoever.

00:16:59.000 All of a sudden, that goes to show that the justice system is not the same thing as an MSNBC panel.

00:17:07.000 That the justice system has process, prudence.

00:17:11.000 It requires evidence, cross-examination of witnesses, and a jury of your peers.

00:17:16.000 It's not an MSNBC panel where you get five apparatches that agree with everything you say when only 10 people are watching and say, you know, yeah, I agree.

00:17:23.000 Put him in prison.

00:17:24.000 A democracy is an up or down vote whether or not your natural rights should be preserved and protected.

00:17:33.000 We have a republic.

00:17:35.000 It's slow.

00:17:36.000 It's intentional.

00:17:38.000 And self-defense is a right that has been upheld in the courts time and time again.

00:17:43.000 That when you are faced with lethal force, you should be able to defend yourself.

00:17:47.000 And the only reason that this trial continues to have oxygen is because of the tribalistic facts and circumstances, the identity politics around it.

00:17:56.000 It's the only reason.

00:17:58.000 The only reason why this trial was not acquitted, it was not thrown out from the beginning is because the talking heads and the New York Times people want this to be true.

00:18:13.000 New York Times writes, Kyle Rittenhouse sobbed and gulped for air on the witness stand as he was asked to describe the moments before he shot three men in the aftermath of the demonstrations in Kenosha.

00:18:23.000 If you just read the New York Times, you would think that Kyle Rittenhouse was praying the streets looking for people to kill when it's the opposite.

00:18:32.000 But a member of the media actually admits she had the facts all wrong.

00:18:36.000 Yeah, that's what happens when you watch CNN, MSNBC, and read the New York Times and not even look at the own footage.

00:18:43.000 If you're looking for ways to skip the trip to the post office and dodge all the hectic holiday shopping traffic, why not save time and money from stamps.com?

00:19:46.000 I want to play this cut here of Anna Kasparian.

00:19:48.000 She's been super nasty to me throughout the years, and I'm not going to compliment her.

00:19:51.000 Some people are, oh, kudos to her. 0.80

00:19:53.000 And it's not about that.

00:19:54.000 What's about what this clip is most interesting, though?

00:19:57.000 She's a young Turk person, whatever. 0.60

00:19:57.000 She's a leftist. 0.60

00:20:00.000 The reason why this clip is interesting, though, is that she admits that she was participating in the simulation when it came to court proceedings.

00:20:10.000 Meaning that she thought she knew all the facts and circumstances around the Kyle Rittenhouse drama, and she knows, oh, actually, I had it wrong.

00:20:20.000 Now, why this is important is that half the country is believing this around vaccines, around masks, around lockdowns, around hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, azithromycin, around vaccinating children, all these sorts of things.

00:20:36.000 That Anna Kasparian, in a rare moment of honesty, speaks out and says, no, no, no, no, actually, I had this all wrong.

00:20:50.000 So let's go to cut 99, where she says out loud, far left-winger, the facts and circumstances around Kyle Rittenhouse, people have been lying.

00:21:01.000 Play cut 99.

00:21:03.000 So look, these details matter because if you're going to make an argument that you acted in self-defense, there needs to be some proof that there was an imminent threat.

00:21:14.000 Now, what really mattered to me was how all of this unfolded.

00:21:18.000 What was the thing that sparked it?

00:21:19.000 What started all of it?

00:21:21.000 And initially, I was under the assumption that Rittenhouse was the person who was chasing after Joseph Rosenbaum, that that's how it had started.

00:21:31.000 But I was wrong about that.

00:21:33.000 Okay, so I want to correct the record.

00:21:35.000 I was, in fact, wrong about that.

00:21:37.000 You were wrong because everyone on television has been intentionally wrong trying to slander an innocent young man, Kyle Rittenhouse, because it feels good to support the narrative that young white men are carrying AR-15s in Kenosha trying to hunt people down.

00:21:52.000 And that was not true.

00:21:53.000 But I do give her credit for correcting it.

00:21:55.000 I wish more people did that.

00:21:57.000 Unlike Joy Reed and Chris Hayes, who doubled down on the fake and false narrative.

00:22:02.000 One more clip here, and then I want to bring in Dave Hancock, who is the Rittenhouse family spokesperson.

00:22:08.000 I want to play Jonathan Turley, Cut 85, on how the prosecution is acting like the Titanic sinking and how the prosecution witnesses turned on them to benefit Rittenhouse.

00:22:19.000 Play cut 85.

00:22:21.000 Well, the prosecution couldn't have had a more disastrous day yesterday.

00:22:26.000 And this has a feeling of feverishly moving the furniture on the deck of the Titanic because this ship seems really to be sinking by the hour.

00:22:36.000 Really, the prosecution stumbled right out of the gate.

00:22:40.000 It's called Key Witnesses that turned on the prosecution and gave what was very beneficial testimony in favor of Rittenhouse.

00:22:51.000 The prosecution is falling apart.

00:22:54.000 This was a sham trial from the beginning.

00:22:56.000 Let's welcome to the show Dave Hancock, spokesperson for the Kyle Rittenhouse family.

00:23:03.000 And if you guys want to support Kyle Rittenhouse as his family is going into debt to defend themselves, we have made a contribution.

00:23:10.000 You guys can go to freekyleusa.com or freekyle.org.

00:23:15.000 Is that right?

00:23:16.000 Freekyleusa.org.

00:23:19.000 Freekan.com.

00:23:19.000 Okay.

00:23:20.000 Yes, both of them.

00:23:20.000 All right.

00:23:21.000 Okay.

00:23:21.000 Freekyleusa.org.

00:23:23.000 Dave, welcome to the show.

00:23:25.000 It's been an eventful couple days.

00:23:26.000 I know that you're tasked with speaking for the family.

00:23:28.000 That's a lot of pressure.

00:23:30.000 Don't worry, this show won't be CNN or MSNBC.

00:23:34.000 How does the family think things are going?

00:23:37.000 They're confident things are going well.

00:23:39.000 They're staying positive.

00:23:44.000 I think people are really happy to see that the truth, the actual truth, and the reality of what happened that night is finally coming out to the American people, period.

00:23:57.000 I mean, that has been held back by the mainstream media this entire, what, like 11, 12, 13 months now.

00:24:06.000 And my God, the things that Kyle has been put through and his family have been put through with these just constant parroting of lies, that's all proven to be false now.

00:24:17.000 So they're staying up eat.

00:24:19.000 And I want to reiterate it.

00:24:20.000 It's freekyleusa.org.

00:24:22.000 We just made a contribution.

00:24:23.000 I encourage everyone else to do that.

00:24:25.000 So let me ask you a couple questions that I'm curious.

00:24:28.000 Number one, and as far as you're allowed to answer, you could just say you can't talk about this.

00:24:33.000 What was the thought process to put Kyle on the stand?

00:24:36.000 Because that surprised me, because that's an unusual move.

00:24:40.000 It surprised a lot of people.

00:24:42.000 He has a story to tell, and he wants to tell that story, and he should tell that story.

00:24:48.000 The fact of the matter is, all the facts sit in Kyle's corner, period.

00:24:56.000 So the truth is pure.

00:25:00.000 And so Kyle getting up there and sharing his story, that's the truth.

00:25:05.000 That is the reality.

00:25:06.000 He was threatened.

00:25:07.000 His life was in danger.

00:25:09.000 He felt like he was going to lose his life.

00:25:12.000 He was ambushed, period.

00:25:15.000 And then he was chased by a maniac with a shirt around his face.

00:25:21.000 And then he was chased down by a violent, angry mob, and he was attacked on the ground.

00:25:27.000 That boy did performed perfectly in terms of he didn't spray.

00:25:34.000 He addressed the threats that he had in front of him.

00:25:38.000 And he used the lowest degree of force to stop that threat from killing or hurting him, period.

00:25:47.000 Full stop.

00:25:48.000 And self-defense is a human right.

00:25:50.000 That's a great answer.

00:25:50.000 I was shocked when I saw Kyle take the stand.

00:25:53.000 It's unusual, but I think that it actually probably benefited Kyle and the defense because you're right, that there really isn't kind of a fact and circumstance gray area that they, and I think it humanized Kyle.

00:26:08.000 With that being said, the prosecution was so out of line yesterday and was admonished by the judge for how they acted.

00:26:14.000 Okay, so my second question is this: is there any movement at all to try and prosecute the people that are tampering and intimidating the jury?

00:26:24.000 And for whatever it's worth, I just want to make sure you as the spokesperson and the family are aware that this jury is being threatened by filming, by the identification of them, which could impact Kyle's future.

00:26:36.000 Is there some sort of concern to try to make sure that there's no jury tampering or intimidation?

00:26:42.000 We have George Floyd's nephew saying we know the identity of these people and we're going to make sure we get the ruling we want.

00:26:47.000 How is this even tolerated?

00:26:50.000 I don't know how it's tolerated.

00:26:52.000 The judge will not accept this kind of behavior.

00:26:58.000 The fact that that individual said that on video is not something that shocked us.

00:27:05.000 We knew weeks ago that this was going to be transpiring and the authorities were properly notified, including the police officers and everybody in the Kenosha courthouse.

00:27:19.000 So this absolutely is not a surprise and measures were taken to, I guess, mitigate the effects of that.

00:27:29.000 Well, yeah, I hope so, but there's going to be members of the jury that don't want to see their house burned down.

00:27:34.000 They don't want to see their kids be chased through the streets.

00:27:36.000 You have verbal threats.

00:27:37.000 I'm just saying that this is now Kyle's future, his life, that could be impacted by some criminals that want to impact the jury.

00:27:46.000 And obviously, I hope the jury, you know, rules courageously here.

00:27:50.000 But if they're now being threatened by external forces, this is a sacrosanct, the sacrosanct aspect of the American constitutional order that we're just supposed to sit idly by when George Floyd's nephew says, Yeah, we know their identities.

00:28:01.000 Like, no, that's actually not how this works.

00:28:03.000 No, absolutely not.

00:28:05.000 Absolutely not.

00:28:08.000 The important part right now for us to focus on is getting Kyle through the trial.

00:28:13.000 We are staying in contact with the authorities and they are paying attention to this.

00:28:18.000 So I would expect that when this is done and as we get closer to the end of the trial, that the judge is going to make some very specific rules as to regarding who's going to be around after that point.

00:28:30.000 So it's absolutely abhorrent.

00:28:33.000 It's insane that this is accepted behavior, that somebody can do this on social media and nobody really points a finger at them, right?

00:28:46.000 Outside of you and a whole bunch of people on social media.

00:28:51.000 But where are the authorities making statements and protecting the jury?

00:28:57.000 I think that's what you're getting at, right?

00:28:59.000 That's right.

00:29:00.000 And so I want to get to one more question here as we kind of conclude this.

00:29:08.000 A couple more questions.

00:29:09.000 So where is, you know, how much longer on the trial do we have?

00:29:16.000 I suppose.

00:29:17.000 You know, what else does the prosecution possibly have?

00:29:19.000 This is such a flimsy and weak case as it is.

00:29:22.000 What else remains?

00:29:26.000 I'm just waiting for the prosecution to come up with another version of events because this is probably the third or fourth different version that they decided to bring up in court and not give to the defense team, right?

00:29:41.000 The prosecutor stated on record sitting in the court during the last hearing before trial that he sees that young Rittenhouse actually confronted Rosenbaum.

00:29:56.000 Well, he had the same FBI video that he gave to us.

00:30:00.000 He's actually had it for five months.

00:30:02.000 Now, that's not at all what that video shows, but he still came into court and he still made that statement.

00:30:09.000 Now he's trying to say that, like I said, Kyle raised his gun because of another drone video, which that doesn't show that either.

00:30:17.000 So he's just making up these different variations of the story, probably just to see what sticks.

00:30:23.000 So we expect this to get wrapped up most likely by tomorrow afternoon.

00:30:28.000 And then we'll figure out when the verdict's going to come in, possibly Monday.

00:30:33.000 Well, yeah, and I mean, I just want to reiterate this, though, that the prosecution has the power of the state.

00:30:42.000 There's a moral obligation that they are clear and they are focused in how they want to put you in jail and destroy your life.

00:30:49.000 They're not allowed to spray and pray.

00:30:52.000 You're not allowed to go ready, aim, fire.

00:30:54.000 This is not the way this works.

00:30:55.000 Okay.

00:30:56.000 And this is more than Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:30:59.000 This is more than this.

00:31:00.000 This is, does the prosecution have an opportunity to just put you up and say, hey, by the way, a video games, how does that feel?

00:31:07.000 You know, by the way, did you ever have any?

00:31:09.000 I mean, the whole thing is so disgusting.

00:31:11.000 And anyone that likes that likes that, appreciates the constitutional order, that this thing should have been thrown out immediately.

00:31:17.000 And I do want to compliment the judge because I think he's been one of the few surprises in this whole case.

00:31:23.000 You don't have to say anything, obviously, but that's me talking.

00:31:27.000 It took an 18-year-old kid to tell the prosecutor in this case that video games are not real life.

00:31:35.000 Well, and this is where we're at.

00:31:37.000 Yeah, that's come on.

00:31:38.000 Are you serious?

00:31:39.000 So I just want to make sure everyone knows the website, freekyleusa.org, freekyleusa.org.

00:31:46.000 Chip in what you can.

00:31:47.000 The family's going into debt to defend themselves against the government that has decided to try to destroy his life because he defended himself because the police and the National Guard were not called.

00:31:56.000 And so this is something you got to step up and help him out.

00:31:58.000 So thank you for coming on.

00:31:59.000 We'll have you back on soon.

00:32:03.000 Hey, everybody.

00:32:03.000 Lately, I've been sounding the alarm about why we all need to be well prepared in case the worst happens anytime soon.

00:32:10.000 No, I'm not an alarmist.

00:32:11.000 I'm a realist.

00:32:12.000 Charlie Kirk here.

00:32:13.000 I've been personally preparing myself and my family.

00:32:16.000 I hope you have too.

00:32:17.000 Because the way things are going, it's not looking good.

00:32:20.000 And none of us should ever gamble with our family's well-being.

00:32:23.000 That's why I strongly endorse MyPatriot Supply as the go-to source for your family's emergency preparedness products.

00:32:30.000 You'll find more than just emergency food.

00:32:42.000 So go to mypatriotsupply.com and get what you need quickly.

00:32:51.000 Don't wait and suffer the pain of regret.

00:32:53.000 Things are falling apart, everybody, and you need to make sure you could feed your family if the worst occurs.

00:32:58.000 I'm a prepper and you need to prepare to mypatriotsupply.com today.

00:33:03.000 That's mypatriotsupply.com.

00:33:08.000 But I want to stay focused on this because it is the number one news story for good reason.

00:33:12.000 And it's good.

00:33:12.000 By the way, this is more, it's important to understand trends, right?

00:33:16.000 So similarly to the O.J. Simpson trial, which was hyper-racialized for no reason, the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is not just about Kyle.

00:33:24.000 I mean, we could go through all the specifics there, but it's about the rule of law.

00:33:28.000 It's about due process.

00:33:29.000 It's about the consent of the governed, about the idea of an independent judiciary.

00:33:35.000 And if we lose that, then the state is just able to lock you up for any reason that they choose.

00:33:41.000 And we are heading in that direction.

00:33:44.000 And we're long past the era, everybody, of equal application of the law.

00:33:50.000 We have passed that and collected $100.

00:33:53.000 Well, how much do you collect in Monopoly?

00:33:56.000 $100?

00:33:56.000 Is that right?

00:33:57.000 $200?

00:33:59.000 You connect two.

00:34:00.000 It's got to be the inflation monopoly.

00:34:02.000 When I grew up, it was $50.

00:34:04.000 I'm kidding.

00:34:06.000 I have a whole speech on Monopoly.

00:34:08.000 Did I ever give that speech on my whole thesis on monopoly?

00:34:12.000 I don't like it.

00:34:13.000 I don't like it because there's not, you have to win by bankrupting your opponent.

00:34:17.000 That's not like life is not that way.

00:34:19.000 It's not.

00:34:20.000 You don't win by bankrupting your competition.

00:34:23.000 So inherent in monopoly is this idea that there's only a winner and a loser by extracting resources from people they're up against.

00:34:31.000 It's totally unrealistic and it creates really bad people.

00:34:35.000 I really believe that.

00:34:36.000 Not to mention, monopoly money, I think, plays into the deterioration of the American currency.

00:34:43.000 Connor says, I thoroughly enjoy monopoly, frankly.

00:34:45.000 Frankly, no, no, no.

00:34:46.000 See, markets are that people benefit when you both get richer.

00:34:50.000 No, I win when they get bankrupt.

00:34:53.000 It's insane.

00:34:54.000 Connor says it's very Randian.

00:34:57.000 I think, you know what?

00:34:58.000 I actually think it creates, I think it creates socialist and private property confiscators.

00:35:04.000 And then the thing in Monopoly is, I need a bailout.

00:35:06.000 No, you don't.

00:35:07.000 You manage your money terribly.

00:35:09.000 You don't get some sort of bailout.

00:35:12.000 Not a fan.

00:35:14.000 What were we talking about?

00:35:15.000 Oh, yeah.

00:35:15.000 The Rittenhouse thing.

00:35:17.000 So Kyle Rittenhouse is an embodied.

00:35:21.000 That's a good idea.

00:35:22.000 Let's play Cut 101.

00:35:23.000 Tucker's epic eulogy for the slain pedophile, Joseph Rosenbaum.

00:35:28.000 He died as he lived, trying to touch an unwilling minor.

00:35:30.000 PlayCut 101.

00:35:32.000 Once he got to the riot, Rosenbaum saw Kyle Rittenhouse and immediately threatened to kill him.

00:35:38.000 Rosenbaum then chased Rittenhouse and tried to pull the gun from his hands.

00:35:41.000 When he did that, Kyle Rittenhouse shot him.

00:35:44.000 So Joseph Rosenbaum died as he had lived, trying to touch an unwilling minor.

00:35:49.000 And what does Joy Reed say?

00:35:51.000 Cut 83, she's memorializing a child rapist who was shot while chasing a minor.

00:35:55.000 Cut 83.

00:35:57.000 Let me just remind people of the names of the victims.

00:35:59.000 Joseph Rosenbaum, who was 36 years old, Anthony Huber, who was 26, Gage Grosskreutz, who's only 27 years old, was injured.

00:36:07.000 These are the victims.

00:36:08.000 These are the people that people ought to remember are the people who were hurt here, not the person who was crying on the stand today.

00:36:14.000 Yeah, say their names, Joy Reed. 0.98

00:36:16.000 Say those child rapist names. 0.93

00:36:17.000 We will remember, may their memory be a blessing, right, Joy?

00:36:20.000 What's happening in the Kyle Rittenhouse drama is a very simple question.

00:36:24.000 Are we now going to abandon the rule of law and the courts as we know it, regardless of political affiliation, facts, circumstances, due process, representation, cross-examination of witnesses?

00:36:39.000 Or are we now going to have a prosecution that is able just to spray and pray, able to ready, fire, aim?

00:36:46.000 You know what?

00:36:47.000 We're just going to keep you on trial and keep making stuff up.

00:36:49.000 Did you play Call of Duty when you were 14?

00:36:52.000 That means you might have violent tendencies.

00:36:54.000 Why did you run away from the fire?

00:36:57.000 Because it was a fire.

00:36:59.000 The prosecution is now in a position where they are able to entrap you.

00:37:04.000 They're able to suffocate you.

00:37:06.000 They are able to metaphorically, legally waterboard you to try to destroy your life and put you in prison to satisfy some sort of tribal identity politics aim.

00:37:16.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
