Summary

Richie McGinnis was a video producer for The Daily Caller, and his job brought him to the front lines of some of the most impactful moments in recent American history: the stories that others would ignore, the reporters who wanted to stand on the outskirts of, say, the Black Lives Matter protests, and tell you that they were mostly peaceful.


Transcript

00:00:00.500 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, your home for open, honest, and provocative conversations.
00:00:11.600 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:00:14.880 Did you see the cover of the New York Post yesterday?
00:00:17.460 If you didn't, do you need to?
00:00:19.980 Toddler and Tiara, in reference to Meghan Markle.
00:00:23.780 We're going to speak with the author of that barn burner of an article later this show,
00:00:28.160 while Nelson Mandela's family is responding to Markle's comments this week.
00:00:33.720 Also, a little fact check by yours truly on her latest round of lies.
00:00:39.060 But we begin today with an exclusive interview with someone whose work you definitely know.
00:00:44.820 Richie McGinnis was a video producer for The Daily Caller,
00:00:48.060 and his job brought him to the front lines of some of the most impactful moments in recent American history.
00:00:52.840 The stories that others would ignore, the reporters who wanted to stand on the outskirts of, say, the BLM protests
00:01:00.200 and tell you that they were mostly peaceful.
00:01:02.760 Richie was in the middle of them and is one of the reasons we know they were not,
00:01:08.240 that they were not mostly peaceful, that they were violent, that people died, people got hurt, and so on.
00:01:13.160 This is a guy who, as the very best journalists will do, runs toward the danger
00:01:18.380 so that you can know what's actually going on.
00:01:21.020 And as a result, he's found himself, especially his past couple years,
00:01:24.320 in the midst of some of the biggest news stories in the country.
00:01:28.220 The riots that we saw, I mentioned, from the summer of 2020,
00:01:31.400 he was also there right in the mix on January 6th,
00:01:35.600 and he was smeared by the New York Times.
00:01:38.060 We'll get to that.
00:01:39.200 But it was one night in Kenosha, Wisconsin,
00:01:41.300 that turned Richie McGinnis from a journalistic observer to part of the story.
00:01:46.260 As he became involved in the Kyle Rittenhouse saga,
00:01:49.520 and then a witness in the trial that captured the attention of the nation.
00:01:55.040 For the first time since taking the witness stand,
00:01:58.340 Richie McGinnis is now speaking out.
00:02:00.160 This is his first on-camera interview.
00:02:06.460 Richie, how are you doing?
00:02:08.080 I'm doing pretty good, Megan.
00:02:08.960 Thank you very much for having me on.
00:02:10.480 Great to see you.
00:02:11.540 Great to see you.
00:02:12.200 We haven't spoken since I watched you testify on the stand
00:02:15.120 and felt nothing but pride for how you handled yourself with class,
00:02:19.640 with dignity, stuck to the truth.
00:02:22.020 It was very clear you didn't care who it helped, who it hurt.
00:02:25.360 You just told your story.
00:02:27.160 You were prosecution witnesses,
00:02:28.520 but I would say you made more points for the defense.
00:02:30.660 I think Kyle Rittenhouse certainly feels that way.
00:02:33.460 But you were consistent from the start in what you saw that night.
00:02:37.300 And so kudos to you for handling it.
00:02:39.340 I'm sure it was a very stressful experience.
00:02:40.860 I appreciate that.
00:02:42.080 Yeah, I got some kudos and some not-so-kudos,
00:02:44.760 but I just did what I had to do
00:02:46.400 and just tried to detach myself from the rest.
00:02:49.360 Yeah.
00:02:49.860 So before we get to Rittenhouse and all of that on January 6th,
00:02:53.540 you've always got your shirt off.
00:02:54.500 Your shirt's off in every...
00:02:55.640 I knew this was going to come up.
00:02:58.660 So are you referring to the first American tragedy or the second one?
00:03:02.860 Because the first, I think, was pretty obvious why the shirt came off.
00:03:05.820 Yeah, the Kyle Rittenhouse thing when somebody was dying.
00:03:09.140 Yes, exactly.
00:03:10.360 And with respect to 1-6,
00:03:12.120 I don't know if you've ever been pepper sprayed
00:03:13.900 or been pepper sprayed multiple times,
00:03:15.660 but if you have, you'd know how good it feels
00:03:18.660 to take your shirt off in the middle of January
00:03:21.020 and feel that cold air.
00:03:23.160 But actually, the real reason why...
00:03:24.200 Don't make me direct people to your Twitter feed
00:03:25.940 where your shirt is also off a lot.
00:03:28.300 Well, you can see the photo on the New York Times.
00:03:29.840 It's still on the article.
00:03:32.060 So you can check that.
00:03:32.760 There's a couple of corrections in there now,
00:03:34.560 but you can still see the photo on there.
00:03:35.780 As a red-blooded American woman, I have no objection.
00:03:38.880 Proceed as you like.
00:03:40.600 Okay, let's talk about prior to those two massive events
00:03:44.860 and the Ritchie McGinnis of yesteryear, right?
00:03:47.620 So you went to Georgetown undergrad,
00:03:49.900 which I didn't know about you until...
00:03:51.340 We know each other.
00:03:52.180 Didn't know about that until I read up on this interview.
00:03:55.620 Go to Georgetown.
00:03:56.920 And when you went to Georgetown, did you want to be a journalist?
00:03:59.520 Were you getting a journalism degree?
00:04:01.000 Or what was your background?
00:04:02.500 No, I studied Arabic and Middle Eastern history.
00:04:04.720 Actually, my Arabic minor was more credits
00:04:06.360 than my Middle Eastern history major
00:04:07.780 and studied Arabic five days a week for three years
00:04:12.340 and for an hour a day in class
00:04:14.300 and then lived in Jordan for six months.
00:04:16.760 And actually, I think the initial reason,
00:04:18.880 you know, growing up outside of New York,
00:04:20.980 my mom worked in Manhattan.
00:04:22.600 9-11 was a very impactful moment.
00:04:24.360 I was in sixth grade.
00:04:25.720 And actually, there's a bit of a deeper story there
00:04:28.760 regarding like me personally.
00:04:30.660 That same day, my mom was scheduled to go in
00:04:33.060 for lung cancer surgery the next day.
00:04:35.620 And so my parents had known for about a month.
00:04:38.400 I told them I felt very uneasy about something.
00:04:40.280 I could sense their energy was off.
00:04:42.400 And they had planned to tell us on 9-11-2001.
00:04:45.360 So I found out that my mom had lung cancer on 9-11
00:04:47.940 and also obviously changed the broader world,
00:04:51.320 not just my own personal one.
00:04:52.940 So I think I studied Arabic partially
00:04:54.900 to learn why, you know,
00:04:56.960 not only the world changed that day,
00:04:59.200 but also my own life changed.
00:05:01.900 And over the course of that journey,
00:05:03.640 I really came to realize that, you know,
00:05:05.980 the Iraq war, everything that happened subsequently,
00:05:08.260 I really viewed the media and the press
00:05:10.620 as the linchpin where all of that was able to happen.
00:05:15.060 You know, when the WMD narrative was being spun up,
00:05:17.580 it's the fourth estate's responsibility
00:05:18.980 to put that in check and they failed to do so.
00:05:21.140 So that kind of directed me towards interning at Al Jazeera.
00:05:24.660 Then I worked at MSNBC as a production assistant.
00:05:27.800 And then I worked for Mark Levin as a video editor
00:05:30.000 and then finally Daily Caller.
00:05:31.400 So I've been across the spectrum in DC.
00:05:33.440 Yes, yes, exactly.
00:05:34.500 Big swings.
00:05:35.160 How would you describe yourself politically?
00:05:38.240 That's a good question.
00:05:39.740 I think it's weird now in 2022
00:05:42.920 to define like your political party
00:05:45.100 because I think we're in the midst
00:05:46.520 kind of a tectonic shift
00:05:48.080 in how exactly that's defined.
00:05:49.700 And obviously Donald Trump factoring into that.
00:05:52.280 But when I first moved to DC in 2008,
00:05:54.680 I was knocking on doors for Barack Obama.
00:05:56.640 And so actually volunteered
00:05:59.100 for that campaign in Virginia.
00:06:00.560 So if you are a Democrat out there,
00:06:02.680 I am one tiny little modicum responsible
00:06:05.540 for turning Virginia blue.
00:06:07.040 But over the course of the Obama years,
00:06:08.800 he had this promise to pull us out of Iraq,
00:06:11.320 you know, to change the way that we deal,
00:06:13.960 that America projects power in the Middle East.
00:06:16.160 And all those promises,
00:06:17.860 Hillary Clinton took over the State Department.
00:06:19.160 I mean, look at what happened to the Middle East
00:06:20.340 over the course of his eight-year presidency.
00:06:22.420 You know, you had the rise of ISIS,
00:06:23.700 Syria collapsed, Libya collapsed.
00:06:26.000 And just to watch the way
00:06:27.640 in which the Obama administration handled that,
00:06:30.080 it was very eye-opening for me.
00:06:32.200 And so I think that kind of like
00:06:33.200 naive innocence that I had
00:06:34.800 when I first came to DC started to disappear.
00:06:37.260 So if you're going to ask
00:06:38.700 how I define myself politically now,
00:06:40.200 I would say, you know,
00:06:41.400 I have,
00:06:41.700 I'm a free speech absolutist for sure.
00:06:46.300 And so I think that in the weird way
00:06:48.000 that would put me on the right,
00:06:49.260 but also at the same time,
00:06:50.940 I believe in, you know,
00:06:51.900 using the power of the federal government
00:06:53.720 for certain programs that might help,
00:06:56.440 you know, the bottom of society.
00:06:57.960 So I don't really know where I fall.
00:07:00.060 I don't know.
00:07:00.520 I voted for Kanye West in 2020.
00:07:02.520 So I'm not sure where I'm going to go in 24.
00:07:04.840 And mushrooms, right?
00:07:05.900 Didn't you say?
00:07:06.680 Yes. And mushrooms.
00:07:07.120 Well, mushrooms were on the ballot in DC.
00:07:08.720 So I guess I probably should have clarified that,
00:07:11.220 but they were on the ballot in DC
00:07:12.520 and they are legal now.
00:07:13.920 So I did vote for that as well.
00:07:17.220 Okay.
00:07:17.900 I mean, I think there are a lot of people
00:07:19.080 who they don't know what party
00:07:20.240 they're there for anymore.
00:07:21.420 Everything is so different
00:07:22.760 than it used to be even just 10 years ago.
00:07:25.540 Are you,
00:07:26.140 how do you feel about having turned Virginia blue
00:07:29.540 and helped to get Barack Obama elected?
00:07:32.600 Well, I think it's interesting to see
00:07:34.140 what's happened in Virginia since then.
00:07:35.600 So actually the latest gubernatorial election
00:07:37.980 in Virginia,
00:07:38.840 I think that that shows you that
00:07:40.320 in a place like Virginia,
00:07:41.880 you know, democracy is functioning pretty well
00:07:43.420 because the parents and people
00:07:45.480 who really cared about a lot of these,
00:07:47.340 like, I guess, you know,
00:07:49.160 school issues and a lot of these culture war issues,
00:07:51.420 they went to the polls
00:07:52.460 and they spoke accordingly.
00:07:53.940 So I think, you know,
00:07:55.360 in that moment in 2008,
00:07:57.000 it's hard to like put myself back in those shoes.
00:08:00.200 But I think, you know,
00:08:01.520 I was very much caught up in the emotion
00:08:02.740 of the moment, Barack Obama.
00:08:04.480 I was a young person.
00:08:05.320 He was very much hope,
00:08:06.320 hope and change folks.
00:08:07.740 And, and you can keep your doctor too.
00:08:10.100 But I think, you know,
00:08:13.140 since then to see the way that he's been,
00:08:17.580 you know, I guess places where he was elected,
00:08:19.240 like Virginia has been held,
00:08:20.680 those policies have been held to account.
00:08:22.940 I think that's pretty encouraging actually.
00:08:25.100 Mm-hmm.
00:08:27.140 That happened to a lot of people, right?
00:08:28.580 They, they were felt inspired by him
00:08:29.900 and then he actually started to govern
00:08:30.980 and they said, oh, wait a minute.
00:08:32.500 I'm having different feelings.
00:08:33.940 Some of the feelings are gone.
00:08:36.240 Now, okay.
00:08:36.980 So you, you wind up at the Daily Caller,
00:08:38.900 which is, you know,
00:08:39.640 that was founded originally by Tucker
00:08:40.980 way, way back in the day,
00:08:42.680 though.
00:08:42.860 I think he got rid of his ownership interest.
00:08:45.480 Yeah.
00:08:45.860 When, when he started coming to Fox News.
00:08:48.900 So you're working at the Daily Caller.
00:08:50.720 Now, was that too right wing for you
00:08:52.520 or was that, I mean, like,
00:08:53.860 well, how did you sort of square that?
00:08:56.060 Well, interestingly,
00:08:56.880 actually someone I bartended with
00:08:58.140 because I bartended while I was working at NBC
00:08:59.680 as a side job and a little bit
00:09:01.820 once I started at Levin.
00:09:03.420 And, and so I was bartending with this guy
00:09:05.740 and I saw him during the 2016 election
00:09:07.440 doing these live streams on the Daily Caller
00:09:08.960 and getting hundreds of thousands,
00:09:10.420 if not millions of views.
00:09:11.580 And the studio was like janky
00:09:13.580 and I'm watching it from my,
00:09:15.660 from my office at Levin TV.
00:09:17.680 And I'm like, wow, there's something here.
00:09:19.400 I went in for an interview.
00:09:20.560 I actually got hit in the hockey game
00:09:21.960 the night before
00:09:22.420 and I had 28 fresh stitches in my face
00:09:24.760 at 8 a.m., like still bleeding.
00:09:26.860 And I called him in the morning.
00:09:28.200 I was like, I don't know
00:09:28.640 if I can make the interview.
00:09:29.340 I got all these stitches.
00:09:29.900 He's like, no, the boss is going to love it.
00:09:31.940 And I went in there
00:09:32.620 and just the atmosphere in the newsroom
00:09:34.780 was so open.
00:09:36.320 Everyone was kind of like shouting at me.
00:09:38.000 Like, you know, it was,
00:09:39.180 it was really exciting.
00:09:40.240 It was just being there.
00:09:42.020 I felt like I could say
00:09:43.220 whatever I wanted in that newsroom.
00:09:44.640 And I didn't feel like coming in
00:09:45.940 as somebody who wasn't
00:09:46.760 like a buttoned up conservative,
00:09:47.840 you know, was some kind of thing
00:09:50.440 that they looked down upon in the newsroom.
00:09:52.560 And secondarily, I think with,
00:09:53.720 you know, Tucker leaving,
00:09:54.640 he's kind of, believe it or not,
00:09:56.400 I guess this is people at home
00:09:57.880 might not realize,
00:09:58.560 but he was kind of a creative force
00:09:59.660 at the caller just because Tucker,
00:10:01.240 he started it with his roommate,
00:10:02.600 Neil Patel, who's still the CEO.
00:10:04.240 And Neil's very type A.
00:10:05.860 Tucker's not quite as type A.
00:10:07.880 So I started in the video program
00:10:09.560 there kind of actually part of my job
00:10:12.160 was creating this little kind of,
00:10:13.840 I guess, creative enclave.
00:10:16.320 And a lot of our creatives
00:10:17.100 that we hired weren't necessarily
00:10:18.720 buttoned up conservatives.
00:10:19.580 In fact, far from it.
00:10:20.660 So I was like, Neil,
00:10:21.500 we got no dress code.
00:10:23.380 We're coming in in hoodies.
00:10:24.260 We're video guys.
00:10:24.920 We're artists.
00:10:25.480 We're going to express ourselves.
00:10:26.360 And they were really receptive to that.
00:10:28.060 So I think in a weird way,
00:10:30.260 the Daily Caller is representative
00:10:31.340 of the fact that the tectonic shift
00:10:34.260 that I'm talking about
00:10:34.960 when I was growing up,
00:10:35.720 being a lefty meant
00:10:36.480 you were pro-free speech.
00:10:37.500 And I think at least the NBC newsroom,
00:10:40.500 other more quote unquote
00:10:43.120 liberal newsrooms,
00:10:44.280 you know, won't have
00:10:46.080 that kind of open atmosphere.
00:10:47.100 Yeah, in my experience,
00:10:48.860 NBC is not willing
00:10:49.780 to an open discussion
00:10:50.800 of controversial issues.
00:10:52.360 I would just, you know,
00:10:53.480 I just, it's my experience.
00:10:54.420 You definitely have
00:10:55.100 some familiarity as well.
00:10:56.220 Exactly.
00:10:57.660 But, you know, speaking of Tucker,
00:10:58.920 he also went from MSNBC, right?
00:11:00.620 Well, he'd been at MS.
00:11:01.460 He'd been at CNN.
00:11:02.360 He wound up at Fox.
00:11:04.160 That's when he started the caller.
00:11:05.540 Yep.
00:11:05.820 And right when I signed my contract
00:11:07.920 is right when,
00:11:08.920 literally May 10th, 2017,
00:11:10.600 right when Tucker started
00:11:11.440 in that APM slot
00:11:12.680 taking over for Bill O'Reilly.
00:11:13.880 And before then, you know,
00:11:15.620 he wasn't kind of the villain
00:11:16.920 slash hero that he is today
00:11:19.000 in the media landscape.
00:11:19.800 And so to see like the toothpaste
00:11:21.680 coming out of the tube
00:11:22.500 during the Trump years
00:11:23.280 of not only Trump,
00:11:24.540 but, you know, Tucker
00:11:25.420 and the way that he was treated
00:11:27.320 for having, you know,
00:11:28.840 his opinions
00:11:29.600 about what was going on
00:11:30.860 is very eye-opening for me.
00:11:32.640 And then obviously the way
00:11:33.840 that the caller was interpreted
00:11:34.920 as a result of Tucker
00:11:35.940 taking that front stage,
00:11:37.440 I obviously was on the receding end
00:11:40.700 of a lot of those feelings
00:11:41.800 because, you know,
00:11:42.400 during the riots, for example,
00:11:43.380 people have a certain idea.
00:11:44.860 You must be just like Tucker Carlson.
00:11:46.340 You must think everything the same.
00:11:47.640 But actually, you know,
00:11:48.480 it's a very open-minded newsroom.
00:11:50.900 Yeah.
00:11:51.200 And one thing about Tucker is too,
00:11:52.780 what I find entertaining about him
00:11:54.380 is you kind of never know
00:11:55.960 where he's going to come down
00:11:56.740 on an issue.
00:11:57.780 And that's what's interesting about him.
00:11:59.680 He's nobody's, you know,
00:12:01.520 dog and pony show.
00:12:02.620 Like he will turn on you
00:12:04.680 like tomorrow
00:12:05.500 if he thinks you've done
00:12:06.480 something stupid
00:12:07.240 if you're a politician
00:12:08.160 who's put yourself on the field.
00:12:09.980 He doesn't punch down.
00:12:10.900 But I like that about him.
00:12:13.020 And people think he's like,
00:12:14.340 you know,
00:12:14.660 he's like a Hannity,
00:12:15.660 you know,
00:12:15.900 Hannity's reliably right wing.
00:12:18.260 Yes, yes, exactly.
00:12:19.160 Tucker's not.
00:12:20.000 And the Daily Caller's grown
00:12:21.140 into a really interesting
00:12:21.940 news organization
00:12:22.640 with reporters
00:12:23.420 I would 100% steal
00:12:24.820 if I were to expand
00:12:26.420 my devil may care of media,
00:12:27.640 which one day I may.
00:12:29.220 In any event,
00:12:29.940 so that's interesting.
00:12:30.800 And you,
00:12:31.900 but like I got to know you,
00:12:33.260 you came to my house
00:12:33.980 for an interview
00:12:34.400 that we did one time.
00:12:35.720 And,
00:12:36.260 but I got to know your work
00:12:37.080 just because you were sort of,
00:12:38.120 I don't know if we can call it
00:12:39.220 guerrilla news gathering
00:12:41.080 because you're with
00:12:41.780 a news organization,
00:12:42.540 but you were just
00:12:43.620 freaking not afraid.
00:12:45.160 You were putting yourself
00:12:46.500 in the middle of all that shit.
00:12:48.280 It was like the dangerous stuff
00:12:50.780 that was happening.
00:12:51.920 The more dangerous,
00:12:53.300 the better.
00:12:54.000 You,
00:12:54.280 you were like a moth to the flame
00:12:55.680 for the past three years,
00:12:57.240 wouldn't you say?
00:12:58.500 Well,
00:12:58.960 honestly,
00:12:59.440 I'm going to give a lot of credit
00:13:00.280 to Shelby
00:13:00.720 because Shelby,
00:13:02.320 you know,
00:13:02.900 Shelby,
00:13:03.220 she's actually a white house
00:13:05.880 correspondent at the Daily Caller
00:13:07.140 and she is now a white house
00:13:09.440 correspondent,
00:13:10.240 but she's a former pro tennis player.
00:13:12.140 And when all those riots started,
00:13:13.120 she was actually the one
00:13:13.920 who went to our editor-in-chief
00:13:15.700 and she was like,
00:13:16.200 I'm going to go out
00:13:16.580 and cover these.
00:13:17.300 And he's like,
00:13:17.740 you're a girl,
00:13:18.620 you know,
00:13:18.800 you can't do that.
00:13:19.740 And she was like,
00:13:21.220 I'm going to go
00:13:21.680 whether you like it or not.
00:13:22.680 And that first weekend,
00:13:23.480 I was actually in New York
00:13:24.360 and I returned on June 1st,
00:13:25.620 which was the Trump Bible
00:13:27.120 photo op day.
00:13:29.160 And over that weekend,
00:13:31.260 Shelby was like walking
00:13:32.160 into stores
00:13:32.640 as they were actively being looted
00:13:33.940 along with Jorge,
00:13:35.040 who was one of our interns.
00:13:36.480 And so Shelby was really like
00:13:37.640 the tenacious one
00:13:38.860 who was getting out there
00:13:39.820 and getting into the mix.
00:13:40.980 And kind of my job was
00:13:42.300 between Shelby and Jorge,
00:13:43.580 making sure that the video got up,
00:13:44.940 that everything was delivered
00:13:45.580 and recording,
00:13:46.620 you know,
00:13:46.800 focusing more on the video
00:13:47.880 in these protest zones.
00:13:49.440 And so we had a couple of situations,
00:13:51.580 you know,
00:13:52.380 where Shelby's standing tall
00:13:54.300 and I'm just like bear hugging her
00:13:55.500 and dragging her out of there
00:13:56.360 because I'm like,
00:13:57.140 you're not the one
00:13:58.000 who's going to get punched
00:13:58.580 in the head first.
00:13:59.300 They punched the guy
00:14:00.000 in the head first for sure.
00:14:01.180 But actually Jeff told Shelby
00:14:02.820 or told me
00:14:03.660 when we went out there,
00:14:04.380 he said,
00:14:04.700 if Shelby gets a black eye
00:14:06.200 and you're not in the ICU,
00:14:07.520 I'll kill you myself.
00:14:08.820 And he's a Marine.
00:14:09.600 So you got to take that
00:14:10.960 with a grain of salt.
00:14:11.740 But it was definitely,
00:14:14.300 I guess,
00:14:14.980 we didn't realize
00:14:16.960 how things were going to turn out
00:14:18.240 at the very beginning.
00:14:18.980 It was a great team.
00:14:19.960 No.
00:14:20.200 And weren't you,
00:14:21.100 weren't you guys getting shit
00:14:22.460 from some people on the left
00:14:23.780 for doing it?
00:14:24.740 Like they were accusing you
00:14:26.320 of like manufacturing it.
00:14:27.560 I'm trying to remember
00:14:28.020 exactly the contract,
00:14:28.640 but it was like,
00:14:29.140 oh,
00:14:29.220 you're making it happen
00:14:30.260 as opposed to just documenting
00:14:31.600 it with your camera.
00:14:32.780 Something along those lines.
00:14:33.660 It was a bunch of nonsense
00:14:34.680 from the left wing press
00:14:36.040 that didn't have the balls
00:14:37.120 to cover it at all.
00:14:39.120 Yeah.
00:14:39.380 And we saw a lot of that
00:14:40.460 after Kenosha,
00:14:41.540 after one six.
00:14:42.580 And actually in Kenosha,
00:14:43.600 I was,
00:14:44.340 took a lot of crap
00:14:45.680 from the right wing
00:14:47.140 because I was wearing
00:14:47.640 a BLM shirt that night,
00:14:48.900 which actually I used
00:14:49.680 to try to save
00:14:51.480 Joseph Rosenbaum,
00:14:52.600 which obviously
00:14:53.060 those efforts failed.
00:14:54.280 But wearing that shirt,
00:14:55.780 that's exactly
00:14:56.520 what you're talking about.
00:14:57.080 Our role was to be
00:14:58.200 a fly on the wall
00:14:59.020 for the American public,
00:14:59.880 just using our cell phones,
00:15:01.540 not, you know,
00:15:02.180 becoming part of the story
00:15:03.000 by coming in with a big camera.
00:15:04.260 And in order to do that,
00:15:05.140 you kind of just had to blend in
00:15:06.440 and, you know,
00:15:07.540 hunker down
00:15:08.760 with the protesters,
00:15:10.220 rioters.
00:15:10.740 If you want to elicit,
00:15:12.040 you know,
00:15:12.260 their truth,
00:15:12.900 why they think
00:15:13.640 they're out there,
00:15:14.680 then you kind of
00:15:15.720 have to embed with them
00:15:16.840 rather than, you know,
00:15:17.620 coming in with a big camera
00:15:18.700 and saying, you know,
00:15:19.540 so why is this
00:15:20.280 a party like atmosphere?
00:15:21.920 Oh my God,
00:15:22.160 it's because of you
00:15:23.380 that we know
00:15:24.320 a lot of the violence
00:15:25.380 that happened
00:15:25.860 at these BLM riots.
00:15:27.080 I mean,
00:15:27.300 you're reporting
00:15:28.520 your fearlessness
00:15:29.260 and getting in the mix.
00:15:30.080 It's like because
00:15:30.520 of your T-shirt
00:15:31.140 at a thing
00:15:31.720 where you were
00:15:32.140 trying to blend in,
00:15:32.900 people are trying to say,
00:15:33.780 people don't know
00:15:34.760 nothing about you.
00:15:35.600 It's like they make
00:15:36.260 all sorts of assumptions
00:15:37.160 from the New York Times
00:15:38.160 to the people
00:15:39.280 who are ripping on you guys
00:15:40.220 for your, you know,
00:15:41.180 journalism
00:15:41.560 during those riots.
00:15:44.240 What I have seen
00:15:45.160 is an honest journalist
00:15:45.980 who's actually fearless
00:15:47.280 in getting us a story
00:15:48.300 consistently with you,
00:15:49.760 consistently.
00:15:50.280 It's one of the reasons
00:15:50.920 I wanted to have you on.
00:15:52.520 So, okay,
00:15:53.700 so let's flash forward
00:15:54.820 to our first big flash point
00:15:57.320 and that is the Kenosha,
00:16:00.860 Wisconsin riot
00:16:02.260 that involved Kyle Rittenhouse
00:16:04.320 there as what he viewed
00:16:06.140 as a protector
00:16:06.980 of a business
00:16:08.320 and somebody there
00:16:10.280 to potentially provide aid.
00:16:12.280 Now, that's a piece
00:16:13.080 of his story, again,
00:16:14.080 that we know
00:16:14.620 thanks to Richie McGinnis.
00:16:15.780 Okay, we know that
00:16:16.740 because Richie was there
00:16:18.120 and Richie,
00:16:18.900 just to remind the audience,
00:16:19.800 was the guy who got
00:16:20.500 an interview with Kyle
00:16:22.480 who you didn't know
00:16:23.260 from Adam
00:16:23.760 that night before
00:16:25.460 the violence started,
00:16:26.500 like 15 minutes
00:16:27.380 before the violence started.
00:16:28.780 You saw this kid.
00:16:30.340 You're there
00:16:30.960 to document the news.
00:16:32.320 This is just
00:16:32.940 to remind the audience again.
00:16:34.420 Those riots happened
00:16:35.220 in the wake of Jacob Blake
00:16:36.340 being shot in Kenosha
00:16:37.800 by seven times
00:16:39.360 by a police officer.
00:16:40.580 He was resisting arrest.
00:16:41.680 This is the one
00:16:42.160 that Kamala Harris
00:16:43.640 called a hero
00:16:44.320 and went to visit
00:16:45.040 and paid the bail for
00:16:46.120 and all that stuff.
00:16:48.420 So the riots
00:16:49.280 happened in Kenosha
00:16:49.900 after Jacob Blake
00:16:50.780 was shot.
00:16:51.380 By the way,
00:16:51.760 it's still come out.
00:16:52.440 It's come out since
00:16:53.020 that he had a knife
00:16:53.740 and he threatened
00:16:54.400 the police officers.
00:16:55.640 So anyway,
00:16:56.500 that's, you know,
00:16:57.960 like so many of these riots,
00:16:59.200 it's like,
00:16:59.960 you didn't know
00:17:00.380 the full story.
00:17:01.320 Go, go back.
00:17:02.240 Go sit on your couch.
00:17:03.580 There's no reason
00:17:04.100 to burn shit.
00:17:05.360 Jacob Blake
00:17:05.980 resisted arrest,
00:17:07.040 punched a cop
00:17:07.620 and pulled a knife on him.
00:17:08.580 All right,
00:17:09.120 take a seat.
00:17:10.340 Anywho,
00:17:11.020 you go,
00:17:12.240 you cover the thing
00:17:13.100 and you see Kyle Rittenhouse
00:17:14.160 and just tell us
00:17:14.700 how that started
00:17:15.360 and what your impressions
00:17:16.020 of him were.
00:17:16.660 I think that that story
00:17:18.800 is very interesting
00:17:19.820 because basically
00:17:20.800 the way that I came
00:17:21.800 to talk to Kyle
00:17:22.600 actually started
00:17:23.660 the night before.
00:17:24.880 Shelby and I
00:17:25.500 were walking past
00:17:26.300 that same business
00:17:27.620 that Kyle was in front of
00:17:28.500 when I interviewed him,
00:17:29.040 which is one of the
00:17:29.620 car source businesses
00:17:30.460 that he was defending.
00:17:31.940 That's car source one
00:17:33.040 and actually the shooting
00:17:34.900 took place in another
00:17:35.620 car source lot,
00:17:36.320 which is just up the street.
00:17:37.720 So we saw that business,
00:17:39.500 all the cars in front of it
00:17:40.900 were burning
00:17:41.460 and there were guys
00:17:42.740 with one guy
00:17:43.700 with a power washer
00:17:44.500 and no joke people
00:17:45.400 with buckets
00:17:46.600 and trash cans
00:17:47.720 full of water
00:17:48.320 dumping them
00:17:48.940 on these burning cars.
00:17:50.600 And so we interviewed
00:17:51.100 the guy as he's power washing
00:17:52.340 and we asked him
00:17:54.140 why he was there
00:17:55.140 and he basically told us
00:17:56.500 that he was hired
00:17:58.060 to go out there
00:17:58.780 because the fire department
00:17:59.780 wasn't responding.
00:18:01.120 And so the next day
00:18:02.520 we were in front of the courthouse
00:18:03.600 covering all the violence,
00:18:04.860 you know,
00:18:05.340 the tear gas came out,
00:18:07.500 they pushed everybody
00:18:08.460 back from the fence,
00:18:09.660 very standard kind of
00:18:10.780 situation happening
00:18:12.180 in front of whatever
00:18:12.900 building it is
00:18:13.540 that they're trying to,
00:18:14.460 you know,
00:18:15.040 burn or whatever
00:18:16.900 they're trying to do,
00:18:17.820 put graffiti on,
00:18:18.780 throw fireworks at.
00:18:19.940 And so they get pushed away
00:18:20.780 from that courthouse
00:18:21.560 and end up in front of that
00:18:23.140 car source business.
00:18:24.380 And I went inside
00:18:25.600 because there was
00:18:26.060 such poor internet
00:18:26.820 to try to get on the Wi-Fi
00:18:28.180 to get all of that coverage
00:18:29.600 of what happened
00:18:30.220 in front of the courthouse up
00:18:31.100 and I saw these armed individuals
00:18:32.500 in front of that same business
00:18:34.420 on Twitter
00:18:35.420 and I was like,
00:18:35.940 oh, I have to go.
00:18:37.260 I just dropped what I was doing
00:18:38.140 and I walked straight out the hotel,
00:18:39.280 which is right next to that business,
00:18:40.440 the Stella Hotel,
00:18:41.500 and walked right out there
00:18:43.140 and Kyle was standing
00:18:44.320 in front of everybody else
00:18:45.360 and I basically just said,
00:18:46.660 hey, does anybody want
00:18:47.280 to do an interview
00:18:47.840 about why you guys are out here?
00:18:49.300 And Kyle immediately
00:18:50.320 volunteered himself.
00:18:51.980 And that is where
00:18:52.460 he told you the following,
00:18:53.600 which would wind up
00:18:54.260 becoming relevant
00:18:55.600 later at his trial
00:18:57.740 for having shot three people,
00:19:00.020 two of whom died.
00:19:00.940 Here's soundbite one.
00:19:03.260 So people are getting injured
00:19:04.660 and our job
00:19:06.080 is to protect this business
00:19:07.000 and part of my job
00:19:08.020 is to also help people.
00:19:09.160 If there's somebody hurt,
00:19:10.200 I'm running into harm's way.
00:19:11.800 That's why I have my rifle
00:19:12.740 because I need to protect myself,
00:19:14.240 obviously.
00:19:15.060 But I also have my med kit.
00:19:15.940 That's you.
00:19:17.940 That's your that's your interview.
00:19:21.120 That's what's so big
00:19:21.980 because it would have been
00:19:23.060 one thing, Richie,
00:19:23.780 if he had just taken
00:19:24.640 taken the stand and said,
00:19:26.020 I went there to help people.
00:19:28.240 That's what that was my intention.
00:19:29.440 It's quite another
00:19:30.140 if you've got him on camera
00:19:31.400 before anything happened,
00:19:32.580 telling some journalist,
00:19:34.040 you know what I mean?
00:19:34.360 It was very helpful to him
00:19:35.700 that you and he had that exchange.
00:19:38.980 Yeah.
00:19:39.140 And the interesting thing is
00:19:40.220 when I after the shooting,
00:19:41.420 I saw so much different
00:19:43.480 misinformation being passed
00:19:44.740 around about how the shooting
00:19:46.060 actually took place.
00:19:47.060 Having been so close to it,
00:19:48.880 you know, I knew what happened
00:19:50.460 because it was 10 feet
00:19:51.300 in front of me.
00:19:52.020 But the moment that I went out
00:19:54.060 and relayed information
00:19:55.220 like that to the public,
00:19:56.420 the first show I went on
00:19:57.860 was Tucker's show.
00:19:59.040 It was immediately
00:20:00.000 started to be distorted.
00:20:01.420 You know, McGinnis supported
00:20:02.400 the conservative claim
00:20:03.280 that Rittenhouse acted
00:20:04.140 in self-defense.
00:20:05.180 And it's like, no,
00:20:05.780 I literally told him
00:20:07.200 why Kyle told me he was there
00:20:09.000 13 minutes before the shooting.
00:20:10.560 And so those kind of
00:20:11.680 objective observations
00:20:12.600 and facts and quotes
00:20:14.140 it's it just goes to show
00:20:15.880 how they get manipulated
00:20:16.800 to kind of fit
00:20:17.660 whatever narrative agenda
00:20:19.160 that particular news outlet
00:20:21.160 wants to mold.
00:20:22.100 I mean, this is so critical
00:20:23.040 because, you know,
00:20:23.960 I understand what Kyle
00:20:24.840 went through.
00:20:25.400 And for him,
00:20:25.800 this is absolutely about
00:20:26.980 a criminal justice
00:20:28.360 travesty averted.
00:20:30.960 But this is also
00:20:32.780 very much a media story
00:20:34.420 and a Democrat spin story
00:20:37.040 because it wasn't just
00:20:37.920 the media piling
00:20:38.660 on Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:20:40.260 It was everyone right up
00:20:41.420 to the president
00:20:41.940 of the United States.
00:20:42.680 I mean, the trying
00:20:44.940 to tell us that he was
00:20:45.760 a white supremacist
00:20:46.820 in a case in which
00:20:48.220 no black people
00:20:49.980 were shot.
00:20:50.760 Right.
00:20:51.120 Like this wasn't about
00:20:52.260 Kyle going there
00:20:53.540 and hurting black people.
00:20:54.860 All of the people
00:20:55.520 who were shot were white.
00:20:57.260 Kyle's white.
00:20:58.460 It was on the heels
00:20:59.420 of a black man
00:21:02.080 being shot by police.
00:21:04.080 But he was there
00:21:05.500 to keep the peace
00:21:06.580 right from from
00:21:07.840 rioters in a city.
00:21:09.220 I said before,
00:21:10.700 I don't think
00:21:11.160 that was a good idea
00:21:11.960 for a 17 year old
00:21:13.060 to show up there
00:21:13.640 and try to keep the peace.
00:21:15.200 But the truth is
00:21:15.740 the the governor
00:21:16.660 wasn't doing it.
00:21:17.620 So there were a lot
00:21:18.060 of people like Kyle
00:21:18.740 who thought I have
00:21:19.860 an obligation
00:21:20.340 to go protect this city.
00:21:22.440 Absolutely.
00:21:23.000 And I think that
00:21:23.660 is the first failure
00:21:25.040 where the institutions
00:21:26.000 that are supposed
00:21:26.540 to protect those
00:21:27.520 businesses like
00:21:28.580 the fire department
00:21:29.240 and the police
00:21:30.040 department obviously
00:21:31.120 failed.
00:21:31.480 And the fact
00:21:32.740 that they had,
00:21:34.300 for example,
00:21:34.720 an FBI surveillance
00:21:35.720 plane flying
00:21:36.760 over this protest,
00:21:37.840 the fact that they
00:21:38.420 had drones flying
00:21:39.180 over it,
00:21:39.660 it goes to show
00:21:40.300 that, you know,
00:21:40.960 the federal government,
00:21:41.960 federal law enforcement,
00:21:42.740 they knew that
00:21:44.160 this was getting bad.
00:21:45.000 I mean, this is
00:21:45.340 the third night
00:21:45.980 of rioting.
00:21:46.760 So why is it
00:21:47.720 that with everybody
00:21:49.020 paying that much
00:21:49.740 attention to it
00:21:50.380 in our federal
00:21:50.960 law enforcement agencies,
00:21:52.680 why is it that
00:21:53.420 law enforcement
00:21:55.060 in general
00:21:55.480 was so absent
00:21:56.240 from, you know,
00:21:57.360 all of those businesses
00:21:58.220 that were getting
00:21:58.680 burned down?
00:21:59.900 Why is it?
00:22:00.280 I mean,
00:22:02.300 it's a very good
00:22:03.220 question.
00:22:03.720 I've, that actually
00:22:05.100 is something that
00:22:05.760 I'm trying to,
00:22:06.400 you know,
00:22:06.780 dig a little bit
00:22:07.340 deeper to figure
00:22:08.400 out exact,
00:22:09.540 because that's not
00:22:10.000 my area of expertise,
00:22:12.040 kind of like,
00:22:12.740 you know,
00:22:13.020 how exactly the
00:22:14.440 decisions were made
00:22:15.320 for the National
00:22:16.180 Guard for,
00:22:17.100 you know,
00:22:17.620 did the governor
00:22:18.300 allow this to happen?
00:22:20.920 Did it,
00:22:21.640 was it offered?
00:22:22.440 So I'm,
00:22:23.340 that there'll be
00:22:23.780 more of that
00:22:24.320 and I'm digging
00:22:24.840 more into that,
00:22:25.560 but I think that's
00:22:26.640 definitely the first
00:22:27.460 critical failure
00:22:28.120 that even,
00:22:28.640 you know,
00:22:29.120 a kid like Kyle
00:22:29.620 Rittenhouse
00:22:29.940 would think
00:22:30.500 that he should
00:22:30.960 go out
00:22:31.240 in the first
00:22:31.580 place.
00:22:32.320 Didn't we have,
00:22:32.880 didn't we have
00:22:33.360 a blue state
00:22:35.020 governor,
00:22:35.520 a democratic
00:22:35.960 governor who
00:22:36.600 didn't want
00:22:37.100 to upset
00:22:37.860 the BLM
00:22:39.520 crowd by
00:22:40.760 looking over
00:22:41.620 militarized
00:22:42.600 in the face
00:22:43.460 of these riots?
00:22:44.200 He'd rather
00:22:44.540 let the city
00:22:45.120 burn.
00:22:45.600 He didn't,
00:22:46.000 he didn't care.
00:22:46.660 And it's really
00:22:49.080 interesting for me
00:22:49.960 to having seen
00:22:50.660 the protests
00:22:51.120 across the
00:22:51.500 country,
00:22:51.720 the way that
00:22:52.240 different law
00:22:52.700 enforcement
00:22:53.080 handles,
00:22:54.440 you know,
00:22:55.220 civil unrest
00:22:56.160 and in D.C.
00:22:57.460 I mean,
00:22:57.720 these guys deal
00:22:58.260 with it obviously
00:22:58.740 more than anybody.
00:23:00.140 They know what
00:23:00.580 to do.
00:23:01.300 I mean,
00:23:01.480 they are keeping
00:23:01.960 this crowd
00:23:02.440 effectively like
00:23:03.140 contained on the
00:23:04.160 street.
00:23:04.500 There's police
00:23:04.880 on both sides.
00:23:05.600 So if parts
00:23:06.700 of those crowds
00:23:07.280 are going down
00:23:07.760 side streets,
00:23:08.400 they have eyes
00:23:09.320 on,
00:23:09.720 you know,
00:23:09.840 they're following
00:23:10.400 them.
00:23:10.960 They're extremely
00:23:11.780 organized.
00:23:12.320 They protect the
00:23:12.800 protesters from
00:23:13.640 car traffic,
00:23:14.980 all that different
00:23:15.560 stuff.
00:23:16.600 In this sleepy
00:23:17.500 city,
00:23:18.180 Kenosha,
00:23:18.660 they don't know
00:23:19.160 how to do that.
00:23:19.900 So the way
00:23:21.260 that they dealt
00:23:21.860 with it was far
00:23:22.700 less,
00:23:23.160 you know,
00:23:23.920 effective,
00:23:24.500 far less
00:23:24.800 professional.
00:23:25.580 They were using
00:23:26.100 like long range
00:23:26.840 acoustic devices
00:23:28.780 like these loud
00:23:29.560 sirens.
00:23:30.460 They were using
00:23:31.140 a lot of tear gas,
00:23:32.440 a lot of pepper
00:23:32.940 balls.
00:23:33.660 And in D.C.,
00:23:34.840 you don't see
00:23:35.420 they kind of
00:23:36.460 treat the
00:23:37.140 group with
00:23:38.220 almost white
00:23:39.140 gloves a little
00:23:39.900 bit more,
00:23:40.240 you know,
00:23:40.380 almost treat
00:23:40.860 them like a
00:23:41.420 kindergarten class
00:23:42.120 if they're
00:23:42.340 taking on a
00:23:42.760 field trip.
00:23:43.880 But they have
00:23:44.780 so much
00:23:45.580 law enforcement
00:23:46.780 overseeing it
00:23:47.620 and making sure
00:23:48.100 that people who
00:23:48.660 leave are being
00:23:49.420 watched,
00:23:49.940 et cetera.
00:23:50.560 So there was
00:23:51.580 none of that
00:23:51.980 in Kenosha.
00:23:52.860 And I don't
00:23:53.360 necessarily blame
00:23:54.120 the police there
00:23:55.000 because they
00:23:55.520 don't know how
00:23:55.960 to handle those
00:23:56.380 kind of situations.
00:23:57.000 But moving
00:23:57.420 forward,
00:23:58.020 it's like,
00:23:58.860 you know,
00:23:59.060 who do we have
00:23:59.660 who knows how
00:24:00.040 to do that?
00:24:01.060 Yeah.
00:24:01.460 I mean,
00:24:02.320 I don't think
00:24:03.060 Kyle made a good
00:24:03.720 decision to go
00:24:04.380 there that night.
00:24:04.940 I think he
00:24:05.300 admits that too.
00:24:06.140 But you can
00:24:07.060 understand that
00:24:07.860 people in and
00:24:08.560 around the area
00:24:09.140 felt like nobody
00:24:10.460 was there to
00:24:11.060 protect the
00:24:12.000 businesses,
00:24:12.840 the people that
00:24:14.140 they had just
00:24:14.580 surrendered to
00:24:15.320 rioters who we
00:24:16.720 now know are
00:24:17.220 rioting over
00:24:17.840 nothing.
00:24:18.640 Honestly,
00:24:19.120 over nothing.
00:24:19.620 Jacob Blake was
00:24:20.620 the aggressor,
00:24:21.400 right?
00:24:21.620 We know that now.
00:24:22.420 So it's like,
00:24:22.840 wait for the
00:24:23.480 facts to play out.
00:24:24.460 None of this
00:24:24.760 had to happen.
00:24:26.280 So you not
00:24:27.060 only spoke to
00:24:27.740 Kyle moments
00:24:28.320 before he found
00:24:29.520 himself embroiled
00:24:30.820 in these three
00:24:31.520 situations,
00:24:32.140 but you were
00:24:33.700 embroiled in
00:24:34.640 the first one.
00:24:35.680 And I know
00:24:36.340 this was traumatic
00:24:37.580 for you as a
00:24:38.640 as a human,
00:24:39.620 as a man.
00:24:41.700 The first man
00:24:42.800 that Kyle shot,
00:24:43.880 I think we can
00:24:44.760 stipulate,
00:24:45.600 was not a good
00:24:46.560 man.
00:24:47.660 Joseph Rosenbaum
00:24:48.460 was a convicted
00:24:49.200 child molester.
00:24:52.120 That's not to say
00:24:52.980 he deserved to be
00:24:53.620 shot,
00:24:54.000 but he was the
00:24:54.540 aggressor and
00:24:55.160 Kyle shot him
00:24:55.800 in self-defense.
00:24:56.720 So, you know,
00:24:57.140 so legally he
00:24:58.220 deserved to be
00:24:58.700 shot.
00:24:58.900 But that
00:25:00.380 doesn't make it
00:25:00.960 any easier for
00:25:01.740 you to hold
00:25:03.560 the man's head
00:25:04.560 as he's bleeding
00:25:05.640 and dying.
00:25:06.760 So can we just
00:25:07.220 start with that
00:25:08.240 aspect of it?
00:25:09.840 Exactly.
00:25:10.220 Well, so after
00:25:10.980 the trial,
00:25:11.820 you know,
00:25:12.040 I obviously
00:25:12.660 stayed silent
00:25:13.340 since then,
00:25:14.020 but I'm kind
00:25:14.940 of envisioning
00:25:15.980 what my role
00:25:16.620 is now that
00:25:17.260 it's no longer
00:25:17.860 witness.
00:25:18.980 And I saw
00:25:20.340 all that firsthand
00:25:21.040 and when I saw
00:25:21.660 it, I didn't
00:25:21.960 know anything
00:25:22.360 about his
00:25:22.760 background.
00:25:23.380 I didn't know
00:25:23.920 what that guy's
00:25:24.760 criminal history
00:25:25.260 was.
00:25:25.640 I wasn't going
00:25:26.000 to, even if I
00:25:26.980 had have asked
00:25:27.500 him, you know,
00:25:28.100 there was blood
00:25:28.480 in his lungs.
00:25:28.900 He couldn't
00:25:29.180 say anything.
00:25:30.000 So my only
00:25:30.900 goal there was
00:25:32.020 really to comfort
00:25:32.660 him.
00:25:33.700 And actually, my
00:25:34.580 dad passed away
00:25:35.200 right when I
00:25:35.580 started at the
00:25:36.000 Daily Caller.
00:25:36.920 And I had an
00:25:37.820 experience when he
00:25:38.860 passed away where
00:25:39.620 our whole family
00:25:40.480 was there.
00:25:41.060 We got him home
00:25:41.680 from the hospital.
00:25:42.700 He saw the nurse
00:25:43.320 leave the room and
00:25:44.520 he knew that was
00:25:45.080 his time to go.
00:25:46.220 And we all hugged
00:25:46.940 him.
00:25:47.140 My older brother,
00:25:47.720 who's an ER
00:25:48.200 doc as well, he
00:25:50.240 put a stethoscope
00:25:51.140 on his heart and
00:25:51.860 we were telling him
00:25:53.280 stories and holding
00:25:54.460 him as he passed
00:25:55.060 away.
00:25:55.460 And he chose to
00:25:56.500 leave.
00:25:56.720 He saw the
00:25:57.640 nurse leave and
00:25:58.120 he chose to leave
00:25:58.660 the world in that
00:25:59.320 moment.
00:26:00.140 And so there was a
00:26:00.760 certain piece there
00:26:02.520 and it was the
00:26:03.920 exact opposite with
00:26:04.720 Joseph Rosenbaum.
00:26:05.940 And I think that
00:26:06.280 there's a very, I
00:26:08.680 guess, disturbing and
00:26:09.860 interesting parallel
00:26:10.580 there, which is my
00:26:12.060 dad, I think, felt like
00:26:13.960 he was ready to go.
00:26:14.620 He felt like his
00:26:15.500 boys were ready to go
00:26:16.400 out into the world and
00:26:17.140 he had done his job.
00:26:17.920 And I think that
00:26:19.200 that's an example of
00:26:20.020 a life fulfilled in
00:26:21.020 America.
00:26:21.360 And Joseph Rosenbaum is
00:26:22.660 an example of a life
00:26:23.940 completely unfulfilled.
00:26:24.980 And he was abused,
00:26:25.920 sexually abused,
00:26:26.440 actually at a young
00:26:26.940 age and so by his
00:26:28.520 stepdad.
00:26:29.380 And so to see actually
00:26:30.460 some of the people that
00:26:31.180 he sexually abused are
00:26:32.360 also now incarcerated.
00:26:33.380 So that kind of cycle
00:26:35.600 of tragedy that
00:26:36.640 surrounded his family
00:26:37.900 is expanding beyond
00:26:39.060 his own family.
00:26:39.960 And my only goal now
00:26:42.760 moving forward is just
00:26:43.740 to put that tragedy,
00:26:46.700 what happened in the
00:26:48.000 actual moment, the
00:26:48.640 human suffering that
00:26:49.460 took place, regardless
00:26:51.240 of what this guy's
00:26:52.000 criminal history is.
00:26:52.640 Because in America,
00:26:53.700 you know, we believe
00:26:54.240 that everybody is born
00:26:55.060 in the image of God
00:26:55.760 and that up until the
00:26:56.600 moment that they die,
00:26:57.460 they have the
00:26:57.900 opportunity to repent
00:26:58.980 for what they've done.
00:27:00.400 And, you know, he
00:27:01.740 left the world knowing
00:27:02.940 that he had done bad
00:27:04.100 things.
00:27:04.820 And I saw it in his
00:27:05.900 eyes.
00:27:06.220 I saw that regret.
00:27:07.500 And I think just
00:27:09.260 conveying that to the
00:27:10.100 public, that regret,
00:27:11.340 is an important thing
00:27:12.860 because in America,
00:27:14.340 everybody wants, you
00:27:15.440 know, to die the way
00:27:15.940 that my dad did,
00:27:16.560 which is with their
00:27:17.160 family and loved
00:27:18.420 ones surrounding him
00:27:19.260 and not the way
00:27:20.020 that Rosenbaum did.
00:27:20.840 And so using those
00:27:21.960 two endings kind of
00:27:24.280 in parallel, I think
00:27:25.600 it goes to show that
00:27:27.180 you should take your
00:27:27.860 decisions in life
00:27:28.560 extremely seriously.
00:27:30.700 But can I ask you
00:27:31.300 because do you put
00:27:32.680 that on Kyle or on
00:27:33.960 Rosenbaum?
00:27:36.080 Well, that's I think
00:27:37.060 that's a great question
00:27:37.860 that I'm trying to
00:27:39.380 unpack.
00:27:39.860 And I think that that
00:27:40.420 was part of what that
00:27:41.960 piece got towards,
00:27:43.540 not necessarily the
00:27:44.820 criminal side of it,
00:27:45.680 but the more moral
00:27:47.700 side of it and
00:27:48.240 moving forward.
00:27:49.020 It's like, what kind
00:27:49.860 of behavior do we want
00:27:50.620 to encourage?
00:27:51.140 Who are the people
00:27:51.540 that we're looking up
00:27:52.220 to in this situation?
00:27:53.460 You know, I think that
00:27:54.420 Joseph Rosenbaum,
00:27:56.500 obviously, I stated in
00:27:57.420 court, he screamed,
00:27:58.580 fuck you right before
00:27:59.440 he went for the weapon.
00:28:00.360 And the way that he
00:28:01.560 said, fuck you, I
00:28:02.440 will never forget it.
00:28:03.300 I mean, there's so much
00:28:03.920 anger behind those words.
00:28:05.120 And I don't know what
00:28:06.760 would have happened if he
00:28:07.440 had to grab that weapon.
00:28:08.360 I don't think it would
00:28:09.080 have turned out well for
00:28:09.840 Kyle Rittenhouse in any
00:28:11.620 way, shape or form.
00:28:12.440 But with all that being
00:28:14.660 said, you know, that
00:28:16.500 situation going out
00:28:17.820 there, and this is
00:28:19.680 something I try to put
00:28:20.320 into words, but it's
00:28:20.960 almost difficult to
00:28:21.800 express how stupid Kyle
00:28:24.020 going away from that
00:28:24.940 business alone with a
00:28:26.220 fire extinguisher in one
00:28:27.140 hand, with his med
00:28:27.900 pack.
00:28:28.840 And, you know,
00:28:29.340 originally Bulge was
00:28:31.240 with him.
00:28:31.880 Ryan Bulge was with
00:28:32.620 him.
00:28:33.240 And he was walking
00:28:34.800 alongside actually me,
00:28:36.660 Kyle and Bulge were all
00:28:37.680 walking.
00:28:38.780 And actually, I went to
00:28:40.840 talk to some individuals
00:28:41.640 who were shouting at
00:28:42.340 Kyle because he was
00:28:43.020 going medical, medical.
00:28:43.920 And I would say like 90%
00:28:44.940 of the people in the
00:28:45.480 crowd, you can see in
00:28:46.160 parts of my video, looking
00:28:47.340 at him very, very
00:28:48.120 angrily.
00:28:48.700 And he just was
00:28:49.420 completely naive, had no
00:28:50.900 clue the negative looks
00:28:52.580 that he was getting, all
00:28:53.360 the all the yells.
00:28:54.340 So these four guys who
00:28:57.860 yelled at him, I wanted to
00:28:58.680 interview them and see why
00:28:59.800 they were mad at him.
00:29:00.720 And I went to talk to
00:29:01.560 them.
00:29:01.720 And that's when I parted
00:29:02.360 ways with Kyle.
00:29:03.200 Over the course of that
00:29:04.040 time, him and Bulge got
00:29:05.280 separated and he ran off
00:29:06.520 on his own down to another
00:29:08.040 fire at the other car
00:29:08.880 source lot.
00:29:09.680 And he actually, it came
00:29:10.620 out in court, he asked
00:29:11.480 some of the other
00:29:12.120 individuals if they wanted
00:29:13.080 to come and they
00:29:13.740 declined.
00:29:14.920 So he went out there
00:29:15.720 alone with a fire
00:29:16.620 extinguisher, a med kit
00:29:17.700 and a rifle.
00:29:19.760 And in that instance,
00:29:20.840 you know, he's trying to
00:29:21.340 play not only medic, not
00:29:23.220 only fireman, but also
00:29:24.440 cop.
00:29:25.520 And so the level of
00:29:26.960 stupidity of that
00:29:27.980 decision, I think, is
00:29:29.520 something that
00:29:30.360 conservatives would want
00:29:31.460 to overlook and that,
00:29:32.820 you know, the lefties
00:29:34.520 would want to emphasize.
00:29:35.960 And then the Rosenbaum
00:29:36.720 aspect of him screaming,
00:29:38.240 fuck you, going for the
00:29:39.560 weapon and missing and
00:29:40.820 being shot.
00:29:42.140 And what would have
00:29:42.900 happened if he had
00:29:43.440 gotten that rifle?
00:29:44.080 That's something that
00:29:44.580 the, you know, it's
00:29:46.700 basically one side or the
00:29:47.640 other.
00:29:47.880 It's you're highlighting
00:29:48.480 certain facts based upon
00:29:49.660 what your agenda is.
00:29:51.780 Right.
00:29:52.040 And it's more complicated.
00:29:53.440 It's right.
00:29:53.800 You're trying to point out
00:29:54.760 it's more complicated.
00:29:56.040 Yes, I get it.
00:29:56.880 I totally get this.
00:29:59.040 100 percent, Richie.
00:29:59.920 I feel like I defended
00:30:01.580 Kyle from a legal
00:30:02.940 perspective every day.
00:30:04.940 I just it was very
00:30:06.160 clearly a self-defense
00:30:07.120 case and he was being
00:30:08.220 railroaded.
00:30:09.140 And thank God those
00:30:10.700 jurors did the right
00:30:11.780 thing and justice
00:30:12.520 prevailed.
00:30:13.700 But we can talk
00:30:15.560 honestly about whether
00:30:16.520 this was a good idea
00:30:17.640 for a 17 year old to
00:30:19.560 try to go there and
00:30:20.320 keep the peace, because
00:30:21.140 you know, you point out
00:30:22.200 some of the things he
00:30:23.240 failed to observe.
00:30:24.660 That's in part due to
00:30:25.600 his youth, his
00:30:26.420 inexperience.
00:30:27.000 Exactly.
00:30:27.360 A 17 year old doesn't
00:30:27.940 know shit.
00:30:28.500 They don't know anything.
00:30:29.900 You're you just I don't
00:30:31.000 know.
00:30:31.080 How old were you when
00:30:31.640 this went down?
00:30:33.640 32, 30.
00:30:34.720 No, I was 31.
00:30:36.160 So you've got, you
00:30:36.980 know, over 10 years on
00:30:37.820 the guy, almost almost
00:30:38.920 15 years on him.
00:30:39.840 You're a journalist.
00:30:40.520 You've been in rough
00:30:41.080 spots.
00:30:42.120 You've seen a bit of the
00:30:43.480 world and you're seeing
00:30:44.780 things he's not seeing.
00:30:46.320 And that's one of the
00:30:46.900 reasons why we don't
00:30:48.180 generally put somebody out
00:30:49.220 in this kind of
00:30:49.660 situation to keep the
00:30:50.500 peace without some
00:30:51.580 training like we give to
00:30:52.920 law enforcement officers or
00:30:54.520 the National Guard.
00:30:55.880 And again, we talked
00:30:56.680 about the fact that they
00:30:57.300 weren't sent, but that
00:30:58.180 there's a reason why we
00:30:59.640 don't send 17 year
00:31:00.760 minors out there with no
00:31:02.060 training to keep the
00:31:03.760 peace in this way.
00:31:04.460 They're they're not
00:31:05.120 sophisticated in in this
00:31:07.220 kind of situation.
00:31:08.100 And what you're telling
00:31:09.060 me is you could see it
00:31:10.840 and you could see how it
00:31:11.960 was going to play into
00:31:12.840 Kyle's Kyle's being in
00:31:14.840 danger.
00:31:15.400 Never mind other.
00:31:15.960 Yes.
00:31:16.220 And I have regret.
00:31:17.260 Honestly, I was playing
00:31:18.720 the role of fly on the
00:31:19.560 wall journalist there.
00:31:20.580 If it had been my younger
00:31:21.500 brother, the moment that I
00:31:22.620 saw him, I would have
00:31:23.020 dragged him out by his
00:31:23.680 ear.
00:31:24.600 So that thinking about
00:31:25.940 the, you know, differences
00:31:27.260 in those roles, obviously
00:31:28.220 after Rosenbaum was shot,
00:31:29.320 I dropped my role as
00:31:30.880 journalist.
00:31:31.620 But I, I almost, you
00:31:33.380 know, I'm not almost, I
00:31:34.420 mean, I think about it all
00:31:35.060 the time, you know, if I
00:31:36.200 had done it earlier, but
00:31:37.140 that really, it's not our
00:31:38.900 role to go out there and
00:31:39.700 like admonish the people,
00:31:40.720 you know, people always
00:31:41.180 say, oh, and he gave this
00:31:42.120 riot or a friendly
00:31:42.920 interview or whatever.
00:31:43.600 It's like, what am I
00:31:44.340 going to tell him?
00:31:44.820 Did you know that you're
00:31:45.520 not allowed to burn that
00:31:46.220 burn down that building?
00:31:47.800 Um, so it's actually on
00:31:50.740 that night in Kenosha, uh,
00:31:52.720 there was one attempted
00:31:53.540 mugging on the previous
00:31:54.340 night.
00:31:54.620 There was another one
00:31:55.200 guys trying to take my
00:31:56.200 phone off of me.
00:31:56.800 And what do I do in that
00:31:57.900 situation?
00:31:58.660 You know, you create a
00:31:59.220 little bit of distraction.
00:32:00.060 Oh yeah, this thing's
00:32:00.600 really, and then you're
00:32:01.140 running, you're, you're
00:32:02.160 looking at your exit point
00:32:03.500 and you're gone and
00:32:04.480 you're sprinting until
00:32:05.360 there's nobody behind
00:32:06.240 you.
00:32:06.580 No, they, they wanted,
00:32:07.720 they wanted Brian
00:32:08.540 Stelter journalism.
00:32:09.920 You better go home right
00:32:11.100 now or I'm going to
00:32:12.080 report you to the
00:32:12.740 principal.
00:32:13.340 Right.
00:32:13.580 And we saw how that
00:32:14.360 ended for him.
00:32:15.140 Like, yes, during, during
00:32:15.940 the insurrection, I was
00:32:17.000 criticized for giving the
00:32:18.280 guy smoking weed, a
00:32:19.080 friendly interview.
00:32:20.020 And it's like, what am I
00:32:22.100 supposed to tell him?
00:32:22.540 You're not allowed to
00:32:23.280 smoke weed in the
00:32:23.820 Capitol.
00:32:24.300 Is that what I'm
00:32:24.780 supposed to tell him?
00:32:26.820 That's not my job.
00:32:27.880 By the way, I voted for
00:32:28.700 the shrooms.
00:32:29.480 All right, stand by.
00:32:31.200 We're going to, we're
00:32:32.180 going to show you the
00:32:32.720 video, um, that Richie
00:32:34.900 was involved in and talk
00:32:35.860 about.
00:32:36.340 Um, now there's, there's
00:32:37.400 blowback on him for
00:32:38.520 saying what he just
00:32:39.160 said.
00:32:39.480 Uh, so we'll get into
00:32:40.180 that in January 6th as
00:32:41.460 well.
00:32:45.940 Richie, there was this
00:32:48.340 moment, we'll get to your
00:32:49.260 thoughts on Kyle in one
00:32:50.020 second, but there was
00:32:50.780 this moment where you,
00:32:52.720 uh, capturing the event
00:32:54.420 on camera and so on also
00:32:55.500 become part of the event.
00:32:56.900 And that is when Joseph
00:32:58.560 Rosenbaum, uh, who would
00:33:00.200 wind up dead that night,
00:33:01.500 got into the scuffle with
00:33:03.560 Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:33:04.240 And we're just going to
00:33:05.100 show the audience, um,
00:33:07.040 the video and maybe you
00:33:08.460 can explain like you can
00:33:10.840 see it too.
00:33:11.280 Maybe you can explain
00:33:12.080 where you are as we
00:33:13.700 watch this.
00:33:14.200 This is like, cause this
00:33:15.740 guy Rosenbaum ran after
00:33:16.940 Kyle and, um, Kyle then
00:33:20.180 had a confrontation with
00:33:21.020 him.
00:33:21.220 Let's, let's show it.
00:33:22.220 Maybe you can talk us
00:33:23.000 through it.
00:33:23.820 Yep.
00:33:24.560 There's a figure in the
00:33:25.260 foreground.
00:33:25.680 Who's that?
00:33:26.420 That guy right in the
00:33:27.480 foreground is Kyle.
00:33:28.160 Boom.
00:33:28.400 There's Rosenbaum dead.
00:33:29.320 And that's me right back
00:33:30.680 behind there.
00:33:31.260 That's you with the dark
00:33:31.920 shorts.
00:33:32.340 He's still alive at that.
00:33:33.640 Um, so I was actually
00:33:34.340 wearing, uh, pants that
00:33:36.320 actually belong to my dad,
00:33:37.500 which I found in his
00:33:38.320 closet after he passed
00:33:39.060 away.
00:33:39.340 So they're my lucky
00:33:39.900 rye pants.
00:33:41.060 Oh, wow.
00:33:41.820 Okay.
00:33:42.980 So you were right there.
00:33:43.920 I mean, you couldn't be
00:33:44.680 more of an eyewitness to
00:33:46.140 that actual shooting.
00:33:48.000 Yes.
00:33:48.440 And my boss will never
00:33:50.660 let me hear the end of
00:33:51.340 it, but I actually was on
00:33:52.440 the phone with Shelby
00:33:53.120 because I heard some
00:33:54.420 screaming.
00:33:54.780 I saw Kyle running up the
00:33:55.760 street with the fire
00:33:56.980 extinguisher and assume
00:33:58.200 that something was about
00:33:58.780 to go down.
00:33:59.340 So I called Shelby up and
00:34:00.600 I was like, where are
00:34:01.280 you?
00:34:01.940 It sounds like something
00:34:02.740 dangerous is going to
00:34:03.640 happen.
00:34:04.280 And actually I was jogging
00:34:05.740 up and I jogged up to
00:34:06.980 that confrontation started
00:34:08.560 with some people yelling.
00:34:09.740 The moment I heard that
00:34:10.540 yelling, I said, oh, uh,
00:34:12.600 some expletive.
00:34:13.780 I can't remember.
00:34:14.460 I got to go to Shelby.
00:34:15.400 I hung up on her and I
00:34:16.960 thought I went to my
00:34:17.840 can't.
00:34:18.880 I went, did go to my
00:34:19.640 camera app.
00:34:20.080 I thought I went to the
00:34:20.680 video, but I actually took
00:34:21.600 a live photo of the
00:34:22.460 ground.
00:34:22.880 So you can see me with my
00:34:23.920 hands up.
00:34:24.260 I thought I was filming,
00:34:24.940 but actually took a live
00:34:26.940 photo.
00:34:27.260 So, um, in that instance,
00:34:29.940 uh, after he was shot,
00:34:31.500 you know, all of that
00:34:32.460 went out the window
00:34:33.040 anyways, whose video is
00:34:34.680 that that one right there
00:34:37.000 that you saw from the air
00:34:37.920 that was, uh, federal law
00:34:40.220 enforcement had a
00:34:41.040 surveillance drone.
00:34:42.200 Um, but then the first one
00:34:43.500 that you saw that that was
00:34:44.360 drew Hernandez, who was
00:34:45.880 also traveling around the
00:34:46.820 country, uh, you know,
00:34:48.320 covering all this stuff,
00:34:49.300 uh, independent journalist
00:34:50.840 who, I mean, that just goes
00:34:52.240 to show he works for, um,
00:34:54.720 TPSA now, but I believe at
00:34:56.880 the time he was independent
00:34:57.780 and, you know, basically
00:34:59.140 the group of people who
00:35:00.740 were there at that time
00:35:01.980 who were, who were
00:35:02.480 covering the event, I'd
00:35:03.320 seen those people all
00:35:03.980 around the country, you
00:35:04.620 know, Drew Hernandez,
00:35:06.140 uh, Brennan Gutten
00:35:07.120 Schwager, Elijah Schaefer,
00:35:09.020 me, Shelby, Jorge, and
00:35:10.760 Julio Rosas.
00:35:11.900 Uh, we, you know, saw each
00:35:13.460 other in all these
00:35:14.040 different zones and it's
00:35:15.000 like it was the, the
00:35:16.080 running joke was like,
00:35:16.920 we all come from
00:35:17.500 different parts of the
00:35:18.080 media, but like none of
00:35:19.340 us are from the corporate
00:35:20.020 media.
00:35:21.160 Yeah.
00:35:21.400 We had a lot of those
00:35:22.040 guys on the show
00:35:22.580 actually during this whole
00:35:23.660 thing, you couldn't do
00:35:24.280 it cause you were an
00:35:24.860 actual witness.
00:35:25.580 Uh, most of those guys
00:35:26.940 were not, but, um, so,
00:35:29.420 so you take the stand,
00:35:30.460 you were called as a
00:35:31.020 prosecution witness, which
00:35:32.100 was interesting cause you
00:35:32.840 were definitely, I think
00:35:33.580 more helpful net net or the
00:35:35.220 defense.
00:35:36.340 And the prosecutor really
00:35:38.200 wanted you to say that
00:35:39.760 Joseph Rosenbaum was
00:35:41.100 falling into Kyle when Kyle
00:35:44.800 shot him and you, you were
00:35:48.140 using the word lunge and he
00:35:50.140 was trying to kind of get
00:35:51.220 you on it, um, based on an
00:35:53.220 interview you'd given to
00:35:54.200 Tucker shortly after the
00:35:55.680 incident that you've
00:35:56.680 referenced earlier in this
00:35:57.640 show, uh, where I think
00:35:59.220 you would use both terms
00:36:00.380 and the prosecutor preferred
00:36:01.660 the one that he preferred
00:36:03.080 the one that made Rosenbaum
00:36:04.920 sound more innocent.
00:36:06.280 And we have a little bit of
00:36:07.820 how that went.
00:36:08.720 Watch.
00:36:09.820 No, we don't.
00:36:11.140 Yes, it is.
00:36:12.200 We don't.
00:36:13.200 Let's argue with my
00:36:14.080 producer.
00:36:15.220 Yes.
00:36:16.120 I can reenact it.
00:36:17.300 Yes, this is the soundbite.
00:36:20.160 Well, let's play it.
00:36:20.960 Sound by three.
00:36:23.180 And you've already
00:36:23.980 established that after the
00:36:25.880 shooting, Mr. Rosenbaum
00:36:27.020 never says it worked, correct?
00:36:29.860 Correct.
00:36:31.980 You don't know, as you sit
00:36:34.240 here today, what Mr.
00:36:35.980 Rosenbaum was thinking, do
00:36:37.200 you?
00:36:39.160 You mean at the time of the
00:36:40.240 shooting?
00:36:40.680 Yes.
00:36:41.400 Or at any point in his life.
00:36:43.060 I mean, you have no idea what
00:36:44.920 Mr. Rosenbaum was ever
00:36:45.880 thinking at any point in his
00:36:46.880 life.
00:36:47.420 You have never been inside
00:36:48.340 his head.
00:36:49.100 You never met him before.
00:36:50.620 You don't.
00:36:50.900 I've never even I've never
00:36:52.460 exchanged words with him.
00:36:53.720 That's what your question is.
00:36:54.980 So your interpretation of
00:36:57.140 what he was trying to do or
00:36:58.440 what he was intending to do or
00:36:59.620 anything along those lines is
00:37:01.160 complete guesswork, isn't
00:37:03.500 it?
00:37:04.580 Well, he said, fuck you.
00:37:05.880 And then he reached for the
00:37:06.860 weapon.
00:37:08.580 I mean, that was another
00:37:10.080 moment.
00:37:10.680 My producer is correct, but
00:37:12.180 that was critical.
00:37:14.220 I mean, that was critical
00:37:14.860 because you wouldn't he
00:37:16.020 wanted you to give it to
00:37:16.860 him.
00:37:17.060 I had no idea what was in
00:37:17.860 his head.
00:37:18.600 And as the eyewitness, the
00:37:19.880 closest thing other than
00:37:20.980 Kyle or Rosenbaum, you had a
00:37:22.740 very different take.
00:37:24.520 And that was where he was
00:37:25.580 trying to get me was
00:37:26.240 basically he went from
00:37:27.580 lunging for the front
00:37:28.600 portion of the rifle, which
00:37:29.780 he missed to then there's
00:37:31.260 just air.
00:37:32.240 So not only the fact that he
00:37:33.880 got shot and that would,
00:37:36.080 you know, conceivably keep
00:37:38.400 him from being able to put
00:37:39.560 his foot out to stop
00:37:40.480 himself from then falling
00:37:42.260 once he missed.
00:37:43.720 So like hashing that
00:37:45.040 out.
00:37:45.260 I mean, it's very simple
00:37:45.940 if you think about it,
00:37:46.940 like just with kind of in
00:37:49.660 normal terms.
00:37:50.460 But in the courtroom,
00:37:51.620 obviously, he was trying to
00:37:52.360 get me on my words.
00:37:53.140 And I think there was a lot
00:37:54.320 of that going on, not only
00:37:55.380 in the courtroom, in that
00:37:56.620 adversarial system, but in
00:37:57.700 the adversarial system that
00:37:58.640 exists in our media.
00:38:00.020 So it was a weird almost
00:38:00.980 like being in the courtroom
00:38:02.160 was almost like a weird
00:38:03.140 kind of, I guess,
00:38:05.340 parallel experience to being
00:38:07.120 in between the two sides
00:38:08.420 of the media.
00:38:09.820 Oh, I'm sure.
00:38:10.880 I mean, his attempt to try
00:38:11.920 to try to make Rosenbaum
00:38:13.300 appear like, oh, he just
00:38:14.320 stumbled into the gun and
00:38:15.980 Kyle, this hothead, reacted.
00:38:18.180 It failed, but it failed in
00:38:19.960 large part thanks to you.
00:38:21.160 I mean, the jurors heard you
00:38:22.360 say, I heard him yell, fuck
00:38:24.220 you, as he reached for the
00:38:25.360 gun.
00:38:25.700 I mean, that's that's pretty
00:38:26.820 powerful.
00:38:27.920 Of course, Kyle can say that
00:38:29.580 too, but that's it's not the
00:38:30.920 same as having a third
00:38:33.280 party there who has no dog in
00:38:35.500 this hunt, you know, say
00:38:37.280 that.
00:38:37.560 So it was critical.
00:38:38.600 Exactly.
00:38:39.200 But so let's get to so Kyle
00:38:41.060 was acquitted.
00:38:41.860 Thank God.
00:38:42.660 And his emotions when he was
00:38:44.580 found not guilty.
00:38:45.680 I mean, who could forget the
00:38:46.620 sight of him going down?
00:38:48.420 He was just overcome.
00:38:49.500 We were live in the air when
00:38:50.280 the verdict was read and
00:38:51.220 just so moving.
00:38:52.900 I was moved emotionally
00:38:54.560 myself watching it.
00:38:57.400 And then now you've come out
00:38:58.920 with an op ed.
00:39:00.660 And it's interesting to me,
00:39:02.380 Richie, I don't understand.
00:39:03.620 You tell me what's happening
00:39:04.560 because you're I read that
00:39:05.820 you're leaving the Daily
00:39:06.740 Wire.
00:39:07.280 You post it in Newsweek,
00:39:08.480 which, by the way,
00:39:09.000 Daily Caller, Daily Caller.
00:39:10.920 Yeah, sorry.
00:39:11.400 Daily Caller Newsweek does
00:39:13.480 post a lot of stuff from the
00:39:14.380 right from the right now
00:39:15.560 these days.
00:39:16.120 It's not wholly left.
00:39:17.360 So just because you went it's
00:39:18.320 not like you went to New York
00:39:18.960 magazine.
00:39:19.600 Right.
00:39:19.940 And then we know like
00:39:21.280 what's Richie doing?
00:39:22.540 So you post it in Newsweek.
00:39:24.760 Mike Davis has had some.
00:39:26.140 Anyway, my point is we know
00:39:27.840 nothing from the fact that
00:39:28.660 this is in Newsweek.
00:39:29.360 But what you say in Newsweek
00:39:30.740 is I was in Kenosha
00:39:32.980 two years ago.
00:39:33.960 Kyle Rittenhouse is not a hero.
00:39:36.160 And you write in the piece
00:39:37.360 that he was either
00:39:39.880 presented broadly
00:39:41.020 as a force for good
00:39:42.660 or evil.
00:39:43.880 In my view,
00:39:44.660 Kyle Rittenhouse was neither.
00:39:47.780 And some on the right
00:39:48.820 are mad at you.
00:39:50.260 They're pissed off
00:39:51.340 that you said that about Kyle,
00:39:52.780 that they feel like
00:39:53.460 you're taking shots with him
00:39:54.540 and even potentially siding
00:39:56.340 with somebody like Rosenbaum
00:39:57.720 because of things that you said,
00:39:59.380 like what you just said
00:40:00.460 on this show.
00:40:02.120 So how how do you respond
00:40:03.760 to people who are ticked off
00:40:05.360 that you don't
00:40:06.080 want to celebrate
00:40:07.500 Kyle Rittenhouse?
00:40:09.600 Well, I think for one,
00:40:11.120 the one thing that they
00:40:12.100 might not understand
00:40:12.720 is that perhaps
00:40:13.960 one of the things
00:40:14.860 that made my testimony
00:40:15.880 stronger was the fact that,
00:40:17.400 you know, I wasn't
00:40:18.740 I wasn't overtly
00:40:20.540 like a Kyle Rittenhouse fan
00:40:22.620 or I wasn't out there
00:40:23.760 to get him off.
00:40:24.720 I was out there to tell the truth.
00:40:26.020 And so that was my role
00:40:28.020 as witness.
00:40:28.480 You know, I told the facts
00:40:30.160 and I tried not to,
00:40:31.540 you know, cast my own opinions
00:40:32.940 out there because I wanted
00:40:35.460 just to stick to the facts.
00:40:36.560 And I don't want any of that
00:40:37.340 to interfere with my testimony.
00:40:38.840 But after that is all over,
00:40:41.420 you know, I stayed quiet.
00:40:42.800 You know, everybody was
00:40:43.660 some people were very angry
00:40:45.160 about the results
00:40:45.880 of the election.
00:40:46.400 Some people I'm in the results
00:40:47.700 of the of the court case.
00:40:50.840 Some people were obviously elated.
00:40:52.420 So I decided to wait
00:40:53.520 and I waited nine nine months about.
00:40:56.540 And on that anniversary,
00:40:57.560 you know, I view my role
00:40:59.080 moving forward as
00:41:00.320 returning back to that role
00:41:03.360 of like a journalist
00:41:04.580 and a person who was there
00:41:05.980 and a human being
00:41:06.580 who experienced it.
00:41:07.520 And when people read about it
00:41:08.700 in 20 years, you know,
00:41:09.860 I just I wanted to put
00:41:11.280 that personal experience
00:41:12.280 on paper, how I encountered
00:41:13.700 Kyle Rittenhouse,
00:41:14.540 how I saw him in that zone.
00:41:16.780 And then, you know,
00:41:18.180 how Joseph Rosenbaum,
00:41:19.360 not knowing his criminal history,
00:41:20.820 how I experienced that
00:41:22.140 in that moment.
00:41:23.040 So, you know, everybody
00:41:24.200 I got called a pedo lover
00:41:25.840 probably, I don't know,
00:41:27.680 hundreds of times
00:41:28.420 this last week.
00:41:29.140 I expected all that to happen.
00:41:30.600 I knew it would.
00:41:31.400 But my my goal was to show
00:41:33.220 that in the moment,
00:41:34.800 you know, the way
00:41:35.440 that you experience
00:41:36.320 these things is different
00:41:37.620 from the way that it's
00:41:38.560 then interpreted
00:41:39.420 by the media,
00:41:40.060 the way that, you know,
00:41:41.020 all the armchair quarterbacks
00:41:42.120 say you should have done
00:41:42.700 this or that.
00:41:43.380 I just wanted to provide
00:41:44.660 my human perspective on that.
00:41:47.280 And obviously,
00:41:48.440 I think the results,
00:41:49.640 you know, the response to it
00:41:51.000 kind of proved the thesis
00:41:52.080 of the article,
00:41:52.660 which is it's like,
00:41:53.780 you know, we have
00:41:54.140 these two trenches now.
00:41:55.240 Every story is interpreted
00:41:56.160 through one of those
00:41:58.780 two partisan lenses.
00:42:00.300 And if you go to try
00:42:01.220 to climb up out of that
00:42:02.200 trench and stand up
00:42:03.420 in no man's land
00:42:04.040 and, you know,
00:42:04.980 shout to one side
00:42:05.680 or the other,
00:42:06.220 you're going to get blasted.
00:42:07.400 So I think that the response
00:42:09.760 really kind of proved
00:42:11.000 that thesis.
00:42:11.540 And I'm not, you know,
00:42:13.120 asking for any,
00:42:13.780 I knew exactly
00:42:14.360 what was going to happen
00:42:14.840 when I posted it.
00:42:15.860 And I wasn't doing it
00:42:17.140 to take a shot
00:42:17.620 of Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:42:18.160 I quite literally said
00:42:18.920 he's not a hero.
00:42:20.120 He's also not a villain.
00:42:21.700 And I think that
00:42:22.680 that's the problem
00:42:23.540 is that he was cast
00:42:24.340 as either one or the other.
00:42:25.840 And, you know,
00:42:26.380 I think what the right did
00:42:27.200 was see that people
00:42:28.500 were calling him
00:42:28.980 a white supremacist,
00:42:29.620 see that the left
00:42:30.840 was calling him
00:42:31.240 a white supremacist
00:42:31.780 and respond by saying,
00:42:32.860 well, if they're going
00:42:33.200 to call him that,
00:42:33.740 then I'm going to call him
00:42:34.380 a hero.
00:42:35.000 And I think that that aspect
00:42:36.340 of the reactionary right
00:42:37.720 is kind of what
00:42:38.660 I was pushing back on.
00:42:39.480 It's like,
00:42:39.720 you can't just abandon
00:42:40.780 your whatever principles
00:42:42.100 you claim to have.
00:42:42.980 For example,
00:42:43.360 family values,
00:42:44.540 parents who don't let
00:42:45.900 their 17 year old kids
00:42:46.780 go out armed to riots.
00:42:49.160 But secondarily,
00:42:51.040 just well,
00:42:51.700 if they did that,
00:42:53.020 then, you know,
00:42:53.980 that means that us
00:42:54.740 responding in kind is OK.
00:42:56.960 And I think conservatives
00:42:57.980 always used to be the ones
00:42:59.000 who were like,
00:42:59.440 don't yell at politicians
00:43:00.620 in the street,
00:43:01.240 you know,
00:43:01.420 have a certain aspect
00:43:02.440 of civil society
00:43:03.280 that you preserve.
00:43:04.280 And now you see
00:43:05.340 all conservatives,
00:43:06.360 you know,
00:43:06.540 shouting at politicians.
00:43:07.400 And and my question
00:43:09.120 is, is like,
00:43:10.020 what's the end result
00:43:11.780 of that?
00:43:12.240 Like if the left
00:43:13.620 goes lower
00:43:14.580 and then the right
00:43:15.260 responds by going low
00:43:16.400 as well?
00:43:17.000 Well, that sounds
00:43:17.760 like a death spiral
00:43:18.460 into something
00:43:18.920 that's very bad.
00:43:19.880 So I just try to,
00:43:22.000 you know,
00:43:22.220 stand up and say
00:43:23.500 what I experienced.
00:43:24.600 And, you know,
00:43:26.160 I expected the results.
00:43:27.640 So I think,
00:43:29.000 you know,
00:43:29.160 moving forward,
00:43:29.740 it's it's it's
00:43:30.580 a good learning lesson.
00:43:31.880 I thought Kyle himself
00:43:32.860 did a pretty good job
00:43:34.000 after the verdict
00:43:34.800 and not being
00:43:36.000 too self-congratulatory
00:43:38.080 or leaning too far
00:43:39.760 into, you know,
00:43:41.280 I'm a hero.
00:43:41.960 Like he didn't
00:43:43.060 really do much of that.
00:43:44.280 And that was not,
00:43:44.860 you know,
00:43:45.400 yes, stepping back,
00:43:46.760 like after the fact,
00:43:48.460 I could have been
00:43:49.560 more clear about the fact
00:43:50.600 that really it was
00:43:51.940 the media that took
00:43:53.220 Rittenhouse and turned
00:43:54.480 him into that hero.
00:43:55.920 And he's just a kid.
00:43:57.440 You know,
00:43:57.600 now he's by that point
00:43:58.740 he was 18.
00:43:59.560 So he was technically
00:44:00.340 an adult.
00:44:00.900 But even still,
00:44:01.860 you know,
00:44:02.280 he was just getting
00:44:03.020 sucked up by conservative
00:44:04.460 ink and they were
00:44:05.060 using him just for the,
00:44:06.680 you know,
00:44:06.820 to score their own
00:44:07.720 points on the board
00:44:09.460 after he was acquitted.
00:44:10.500 And let me just show
00:44:12.160 the audience what
00:44:13.100 you're talking about
00:44:13.420 because in your piece
00:44:14.020 you write a month
00:44:15.340 after the trial came
00:44:16.100 Turning Point USA's
00:44:17.180 America Fest
00:44:18.160 where they wanted you
00:44:19.760 to participate
00:44:20.580 but you declined.
00:44:21.780 You knew that they
00:44:22.280 were going to surprise
00:44:23.060 the audience with Kyle
00:44:24.200 and it led to,
00:44:25.740 we have it, right?
00:44:26.420 We have this moment.
00:44:29.940 Yeah,
00:44:30.440 where he came out.
00:44:31.260 We'll just play it now
00:44:32.120 while I continue speaking.
00:44:34.000 But he came out
00:44:35.160 and there's like
00:44:35.780 pyrotechnics
00:44:37.020 and there's
00:44:37.700 spotlights
00:44:38.900 and he got
00:44:40.240 a hero's welcome
00:44:41.080 for sure.
00:44:42.640 And I get any,
00:44:43.560 I can see,
00:44:44.360 you know,
00:44:44.600 you had a problem
00:44:45.840 with that.
00:44:46.500 To me,
00:44:46.920 I saw that as like
00:44:47.980 they're applauding
00:44:49.760 his courage
00:44:51.240 in having
00:44:51.940 had to sit there
00:44:53.340 for day after day
00:44:54.600 thinking he might
00:44:55.260 be going to jail
00:44:55.940 for the rest of his life.
00:44:56.940 It's about a martyr
00:44:58.160 less than a hero
00:44:59.360 in my view.
00:45:01.200 Yeah,
00:45:01.420 I think that that's
00:45:02.020 a very fair point.
00:45:04.060 And Drew Hernandez
00:45:04.720 actually,
00:45:05.480 who was on that panel,
00:45:06.760 who,
00:45:07.100 like I said,
00:45:07.440 I was traveling
00:45:07.860 around with him,
00:45:08.880 he said something
00:45:09.580 similar on Tim Pool
00:45:10.640 the other night.
00:45:11.080 And look,
00:45:11.880 that's completely fine.
00:45:13.960 I totally understand
00:45:14.640 that perspective.
00:45:16.000 And I also
00:45:17.920 can't unpack,
00:45:19.560 like,
00:45:20.000 here's the thing
00:45:20.600 is when a tragedy
00:45:21.500 happens,
00:45:22.400 you know,
00:45:22.540 everybody says,
00:45:23.280 oh,
00:45:23.520 well,
00:45:23.800 he had this
00:45:24.240 criminal history
00:45:24.940 and blah,
00:45:25.720 blah,
00:45:25.840 blah.
00:45:26.020 I can't unlive
00:45:26.860 that experience.
00:45:28.260 And so my goal
00:45:29.320 was to,
00:45:30.100 you know,
00:45:30.220 the way that I felt
00:45:31.340 when I saw that
00:45:32.380 having one of the people
00:45:33.820 that he shot
00:45:34.400 die in my arms
00:45:35.380 was sick.
00:45:37.020 And so I think
00:45:38.820 that all I wanted
00:45:39.860 to do in that,
00:45:41.480 providing that anecdote
00:45:42.380 and the way that I felt
00:45:43.320 when I saw it
00:45:44.060 was to identify
00:45:45.220 the fact that
00:45:45.800 people who are close
00:45:46.840 to these tragedies,
00:45:48.120 you know,
00:45:48.320 that human side of it
00:45:49.500 is something that gets
00:45:50.300 completely lost.
00:45:52.280 And whether it's
00:45:52.760 one side or the other,
00:45:53.780 the human beings
00:45:54.360 who are caught up
00:45:54.820 in the midst of that
00:45:55.480 are kind of,
00:45:56.240 they do,
00:45:56.680 they become these caricatures
00:45:57.740 who are no longer
00:45:59.460 human beings,
00:46:00.220 according to the media.
00:46:01.800 That's the thing.
00:46:02.260 So like when I see
00:46:02.960 people attacking you
00:46:04.040 for this opinion piece
00:46:05.500 for what you're saying here,
00:46:06.560 I want them to remember
00:46:08.120 you've been through
00:46:09.180 your own trauma.
00:46:10.860 You've been through
00:46:11.400 your own trauma
00:46:12.440 in this whole thing,
00:46:13.980 trying to do
00:46:14.740 the right thing,
00:46:15.620 trying to bring us
00:46:16.240 the news
00:46:16.860 that was being snuffed
00:46:18.360 out by too many
00:46:19.280 in the mainstream
00:46:19.880 and found yourself
00:46:21.640 in a really hard situation
00:46:23.380 where not only
00:46:24.040 did you witness
00:46:24.840 the shooting
00:46:25.340 and were in danger
00:46:26.240 yourself,
00:46:26.760 but again,
00:46:28.340 not knowing
00:46:29.320 who Joseph Rosenbaum
00:46:30.400 was or anything
00:46:31.160 about his criminal history
00:46:32.260 held him as he died
00:46:33.740 in your arms
00:46:34.340 after you'd already
00:46:35.220 lost your dad
00:46:35.960 in not the same way,
00:46:37.400 but it's,
00:46:37.760 you know,
00:46:38.100 disturbingly eerily
00:46:39.520 similar circumstances,
00:46:40.920 sort of.
00:46:41.700 So I get it,
00:46:42.640 Richie.
00:46:42.960 I understand exactly
00:46:44.380 where you're coming from.
00:46:45.500 I will say
00:46:46.360 we reached out to Kyle
00:46:48.340 and asked him
00:46:50.040 for his response
00:46:51.360 to your op-ed
00:46:52.000 and told him
00:46:52.280 you're coming on today
00:46:52.940 and I'll just leave
00:46:53.680 that as the tease
00:46:54.580 because we just did
00:46:55.480 get a response
00:46:56.300 and that's where
00:46:57.160 we'll pick it up.
00:46:57.880 Right after this
00:46:58.700 quick commercial break,
00:46:59.920 we'll be right back
00:47:01.100 with Richie McGinnis
00:47:01.780 and we'll talk
00:47:02.320 about January 6th
00:47:03.340 as well.
00:47:04.240 And don't forget,
00:47:05.160 folks,

00:47:42.020 for his response
00:47:43.540 to your op-ed in Newsweek
00:47:45.060 and to what we anticipated
00:47:46.580 would be your appearance
00:47:47.980 here today.
00:47:48.960 And it was sort of
00:47:50.320 an interesting series of events.
00:47:51.920 His spokesperson,
00:47:53.220 David Hancock,
00:47:54.040 responded first
00:47:54.940 and then in came
00:47:56.780 a lengthier statement
00:47:57.940 from David Hancock
00:47:59.120 and then in came
00:48:00.340 a statement from Kyle himself.
00:48:02.140 So I kind of have
00:48:03.060 sort of three responses
00:48:04.460 to go over with you.
00:48:05.580 First came this
00:48:06.360 from David Hancock,
00:48:07.300 one paragraph only.
00:48:10.280 Kyle wishes Richie the best
00:48:12.420 as he tries to reinvent himself
00:48:14.360 and will always be thankful
00:48:16.120 that Richie was honest
00:48:17.080 and sincere
00:48:17.700 when it mattered the most,
00:48:19.060 not just for Kyle,
00:48:20.520 but for America.
00:48:22.020 Okay,
00:48:22.340 so that was number one.
00:48:24.680 David has since added
00:48:26.020 a second paragraph
00:48:26.880 to that.
00:48:27.920 That reads,
00:48:30.180 that reads,
00:48:31.340 Kyle thought waiting
00:48:32.460 until the two-year anniversary
00:48:33.960 of Kenosha
00:48:34.640 to pander to the left
00:48:36.140 with selective storytelling
00:48:37.580 was painfully transparent,
00:48:39.960 but pretending the thugs
00:48:41.200 who attacked him
00:48:41.960 were now victims
00:48:42.800 was hypocritical
00:48:44.160 and unprincipled.
00:48:46.020 So that's him to you.
00:48:48.160 He's referring to your behavior.
00:48:49.940 Kyle,
00:48:51.060 this is from him directly,
00:48:52.240 writes as follows,
00:48:53.040 quote,
00:48:54.100 Unfortunately,
00:48:55.000 Richie's latest story
00:48:55.980 leaves a lot of
00:48:56.600 important details out.
00:48:58.320 Including my intentions
00:48:59.240 to help others
00:49:00.000 while I was there
00:49:00.880 or the fact that I was
00:49:02.120 chased down
00:49:02.800 and assaulted
00:49:03.360 by an armed mob.
00:49:05.000 I am grateful
00:49:05.480 he told the truth
00:49:06.200 when it mattered.
00:49:07.200 His new story
00:49:08.180 doesn't change
00:49:09.140 the facts of that day.
00:49:10.820 I am forever grateful
00:49:11.620 for the justice system
00:49:12.600 for seeing my innocence
00:49:13.540 in all of this.
00:49:15.320 So,
00:49:15.880 what do you make of it?
00:49:16.760 You've left out
00:49:17.340 a lot of details,
00:49:18.340 including his intentions.
00:49:20.260 I'm grateful you told the truth
00:49:21.700 when it mattered.
00:49:23.000 You now have a new story
00:49:24.320 that they think
00:49:25.640 is hypocritical,
00:49:27.200 unprincipled,
00:49:28.160 and painfully transparent
00:49:29.520 as you attempt to,
00:49:31.000 quote,
00:49:31.240 pander to the left.
00:49:34.360 Well,
00:49:34.960 see,
00:49:35.340 that's what I was
00:49:35.860 talking about earlier,
00:49:36.480 which is if you,
00:49:37.300 you know,
00:49:38.040 step outside of,
00:49:39.040 you know,
00:49:39.700 that trench,
00:49:40.480 then you're going to
00:49:41.000 basically be cast
00:49:41.920 into the other one.
00:49:43.080 And so,
00:49:43.980 when I was,
00:49:44.840 during the trial,
00:49:45.580 you know,
00:49:45.740 people were calling me
00:49:46.460 a right-wing conservative
00:49:47.400 and now people are saying
00:49:49.200 that I'm pandering to the left
00:49:50.160 with this new piece.
00:49:51.800 I mean,
00:49:51.980 I think that Kyle,
00:49:53.440 you know,
00:49:53.940 that response,
00:49:54.980 I think that that's
00:49:56.280 a very fair contention.
00:49:57.800 I did include details
00:49:59.260 of why he said
00:50:00.820 he stated that he was there.
00:50:02.480 He stated,
00:50:03.460 I mean,
00:50:03.660 he wasn't an actual medic,
00:50:04.820 though,
00:50:05.140 so he was there
00:50:06.400 to help people
00:50:08.920 who were injured,
00:50:09.900 but he wasn't,
00:50:10.800 he wasn't an actual
00:50:11.460 trained medic.
00:50:12.100 He had lifeguard certification,
00:50:13.760 so I'm just as much
00:50:14.860 a medic as he is,
00:50:16.720 having been a surf instructor.
00:50:18.440 Secondarily,
00:50:18.980 I used the word
00:50:19.580 playing cop for a reason
00:50:21.180 and it's because
00:50:22.300 what I picked up on
00:50:23.540 the moment that I was
00:50:24.220 walking through the streets
00:50:24.860 with him is that
00:50:25.860 he was playing the role
00:50:28.060 of both cop,
00:50:29.060 medic later on
00:50:30.220 when he had the fire extinguisher,
00:50:31.600 also fireman,
00:50:32.780 but it was like
00:50:34.120 he was playing a role.
00:50:35.380 It wasn't like
00:50:35.940 he was actually,
00:50:36.940 you know,
00:50:37.760 really knew what he was doing
00:50:38.840 in that situation
00:50:39.580 and so my piece
00:50:42.340 is the intention
00:50:43.660 is to show
00:50:44.240 my personal perspective
00:50:45.380 and going from
00:50:47.180 witness to a human being
00:50:48.880 and so,
00:50:50.560 you know,
00:50:50.780 I didn't intend this
00:50:52.080 as a hit piece to Kyle
00:50:52.920 in any way,
00:50:53.700 shape,
00:50:53.840 or form
00:50:54.140 and in fact,
00:50:55.100 it's,
00:50:55.900 I believe,
00:50:56.660 more excoriating
00:50:57.260 of the media
00:50:57.740 than anybody else
00:50:58.600 but that's what
00:50:59.980 everybody focused on
00:51:00.840 and I wish
00:51:02.640 the best for Kyle.
00:51:03.960 I know that he
00:51:04.580 suffered a lot of trauma
00:51:06.120 as a result of what happened
00:51:07.020 and I didn't mean
00:51:07.540 to add on to that
00:51:08.680 but with that being said,
00:51:10.580 I did have to
00:51:11.300 take the opportunity
00:51:12.100 to state
00:51:13.580 my human perspective
00:51:15.220 of the events
00:51:16.700 that night
00:51:17.200 because I believe
00:51:18.780 that,
00:51:19.000 you know,
00:51:19.140 down the road
00:51:19.700 it's an important perspective
00:51:21.060 and I was right there
00:51:21.820 and what people got
00:51:23.100 from me
00:51:23.600 prior to that piece
00:51:24.720 was me trying my best
00:51:26.700 to play the role
00:51:27.180 of witness
00:51:27.520 so if people don't like,
00:51:29.140 you know,
00:51:29.380 what my opinion is,
00:51:30.920 that's fine.
00:51:31.460 This is America.
00:51:32.100 I mean,
00:51:32.220 I really appreciate
00:51:33.700 the fact that
00:51:34.260 we're even able
00:51:35.160 to have,
00:51:35.840 like,
00:51:36.380 the fact that we're
00:51:37.080 on this show right now
00:51:38.020 and we're talking about this
00:51:39.360 at such great length
00:51:40.120 and that we actually
00:51:40.760 even got a response
00:51:41.500 from Kyle
00:51:42.000 and I'm now interacting
00:51:43.180 with that.
00:51:44.100 That's exactly
00:51:45.560 what I want to come out
00:51:47.140 of all of what happened
00:51:48.480 in 2020
00:51:48.880 which is people
00:51:49.540 are reckoning on the media
00:51:50.620 where people realize
00:51:51.700 that the corporate institutions
00:51:53.240 that drive our discourse
00:51:54.160 are driving us apart
00:51:55.440 and you know what?
00:51:56.840 If,
00:51:57.220 like,
00:51:57.580 if Kyle wants to have a beer
00:51:59.280 or sit down on a podcast
00:52:00.480 and talk about it,
00:52:01.300 I'm willing to talk to anybody.
00:52:02.780 You know,
00:52:03.000 I'm not saying like,
00:52:04.180 well,
00:52:04.400 he's welcome to do that right here.
00:52:05.660 He's never been on the show
00:52:06.560 though we invited him.
00:52:07.520 Yeah.
00:52:08.200 I have no problem with that
00:52:09.380 because he is a human being
00:52:11.240 and he was affected
00:52:12.040 just like I was
00:52:12.840 and so me providing
00:52:14.600 my perspective,
00:52:15.280 that word victim,
00:52:16.460 it was not used
00:52:17.520 in a legal sense.
00:52:18.540 I was not stating
00:52:19.460 that he was criminally
00:52:20.220 liable for anything.
00:52:22.320 They're dead
00:52:22.860 and he's not
00:52:23.300 and there was a series
00:52:25.080 of decisions
00:52:25.560 that went into that.
00:52:26.440 I know,
00:52:26.640 but I'll just challenge you
00:52:28.100 on that
00:52:28.300 but the reason
00:52:29.020 they're dead
00:52:29.400 and he's not
00:52:29.840 is there.
00:52:30.880 That's what I was
00:52:31.500 going at earlier.
00:52:32.560 Nobody made Rosenbaum
00:52:33.440 show up at that thing
00:52:34.600 at that protest.
00:52:35.980 Nobody made him
00:52:36.540 run after Kyle.
00:52:37.340 Nobody made him
00:52:37.980 lunge for a gun
00:52:38.820 he could clearly see
00:52:39.760 was there
00:52:40.240 and dangerous.
00:52:41.700 You know,
00:52:42.000 I see this
00:52:42.860 and I say
00:52:43.380 it's unfortunate
00:52:44.080 he made those decisions
00:52:45.080 but that's on him.
00:52:46.300 That is on him.
00:52:47.100 So that's what people
00:52:47.940 are reacting
00:52:48.260 and then you find out
00:52:48.940 his background
00:52:49.440 and you really
00:52:50.240 like most of us
00:52:51.160 not those who held him
00:52:52.360 while he was dying
00:52:53.000 think I'm done.
00:52:54.500 I'm kind of out of sympathy
00:52:55.880 for Joseph Rosenbaum.
00:52:56.920 Yes, absolutely.
00:52:59.360 Look, that's totally fine
00:53:01.660 and I absolutely
00:53:02.260 understand that opinion
00:53:03.060 and I understand
00:53:03.840 why people have
00:53:04.420 that opinion
00:53:04.900 but like I said
00:53:06.620 I can't unpack
00:53:08.080 the lived experience
00:53:09.740 of that
00:53:10.260 and I didn't know
00:53:11.000 those details
00:53:11.800 at the time
00:53:12.420 and
00:53:13.260 What about this though,
00:53:15.260 Richie?
00:53:15.480 What about this?
00:53:16.240 Because they said
00:53:16.840 people are hating you
00:53:18.100 because when you went
00:53:18.640 back to Kenosha
00:53:19.360 you said
00:53:19.740 I tried to retrace
00:53:20.600 my steps.
00:53:21.660 There was no memorial
00:53:22.620 for Rosenbaum
00:53:23.460 or Huber.
00:53:24.880 Huber's the other guy
00:53:26.160 who was killed.
00:53:26.460 So and you know
00:53:27.580 people are like
00:53:28.160 what?
00:53:29.140 What is he saying?
00:53:30.380 Those those were bad guys
00:53:32.040 who attacked a 17 year old.
00:53:34.440 Well, what I was
00:53:35.000 the point of
00:53:36.380 providing that detail
00:53:37.640 was actually to mirror
00:53:39.340 the lionization
00:53:41.380 that happened
00:53:42.380 with Rosenbaum initially
00:53:43.280 and then how
00:53:44.420 after the case
00:53:45.340 you know
00:53:45.720 they forgot about him
00:53:46.600 and so like there's still
00:53:47.380 if you go to where
00:53:48.040 George Floyd died
00:53:48.700 there's a massive memorial
00:53:50.020 that's still there.
00:53:50.780 Right?
00:53:51.320 And I'm not saying
00:53:52.180 there wasn't a judgment
00:53:53.000 on their behavior.
00:53:54.160 It was a judgment
00:53:54.820 on the way in which
00:53:55.520 the city is moving forward
00:53:56.720 and so the fact
00:53:58.080 that there was no memorial
00:53:59.040 for them
00:53:59.340 I also said
00:53:59.860 in the next sentence
00:54:00.500 that there's there was
00:54:01.080 no plaque
00:54:01.640 for the riots
00:54:02.840 and the violence
00:54:03.420 like so
00:54:04.100 Are you saying
00:54:04.860 that they were fake news
00:54:05.860 when they tried to act
00:54:06.840 like they were all concerned
00:54:07.840 about Huber and Rosenbaum
00:54:09.100 that that was BS?
00:54:10.340 Exactly.
00:54:10.360 Exactly.
00:54:11.100 And so it's funny
00:54:11.980 because that detail
00:54:13.040 was actually
00:54:13.960 what I was trying
00:54:14.960 to get at
00:54:15.440 is the fact
00:54:15.880 that the left
00:54:16.440 used him opportunistically
00:54:18.380 use Rosenbaum
00:54:19.220 and Huber
00:54:19.540 opportunistically
00:54:20.260 as heroes
00:54:21.300 and then kind of
00:54:22.380 just cast him
00:54:22.920 to the wayside
00:54:23.440 and the city itself
00:54:25.420 wants to forget
00:54:26.280 about what happened
00:54:27.060 and so that was
00:54:28.020 the conclusion
00:54:29.340 of that detail
00:54:30.040 yeah I'm well aware
00:54:31.300 of the way
00:54:32.160 that people responded
00:54:33.100 to it
00:54:33.440 but that was
00:54:34.680 what I experienced
00:54:35.940 and what I saw
00:54:36.760 and what I thought
00:54:37.600 about when I was there
00:54:38.340 so I wrote it.
00:54:39.580 I mean on the flip side
00:54:40.720 and we've talked about it
00:54:41.860 at length on the show
00:54:42.400 though not with you
00:54:43.040 the demonization
00:54:45.420 of Kyle Rittenhouse
00:54:46.140 by the media
00:54:46.720 Yes.
00:54:47.480 Yes.
00:54:47.820 I mean
00:54:48.340 it dwarfs anything
00:54:50.220 that we've talked about
00:54:51.020 it's been
00:54:51.460 absolutely disgusting
00:54:53.320 from the beginning
00:54:54.280 as we now know
00:54:55.840 this kid
00:54:56.420 he was not a vigilante
00:54:57.760 he was not a white supremacist
00:54:59.340 there was absolutely
00:55:00.260 no evidence to that effect
00:55:01.480 but he was called that
00:55:02.300 by people like Joe Biden
00:55:03.380 I mean it's crazy
00:55:04.460 that Joe Biden
00:55:05.240 actually called Kyle
00:55:06.140 a white supremacist
00:55:07.040 and so the kid
00:55:08.440 has been through a lot
00:55:09.660 he was on Tucker recently
00:55:11.440 because we are at the
00:55:12.220 two year mark
00:55:12.880 since it all happened
00:55:14.460 and described his life
00:55:15.840 these days
00:55:16.300 as follows
00:55:17.000 Well we're going to
00:55:19.940 make the media pay
00:55:20.820 for what they did to me
00:55:21.800 they made it hard
00:55:22.560 for me to live
00:55:23.180 a normal life
00:55:23.980 I can't go out
00:55:24.820 into public
00:55:25.480 I can't go to the store
00:55:27.320 it's hard for me
00:55:28.160 to go anywhere
00:55:28.900 without security
00:55:29.900 shoot
00:55:30.600 doing basic things
00:55:32.020 like taking my dog
00:55:33.100 to the dog park
00:55:33.860 is difficult
00:55:34.480 so they made it
00:55:36.200 really difficult
00:55:36.760 to be normal
00:55:38.180 and they affected
00:55:39.680 future job opportunities
00:55:41.060 to me
00:55:41.500 I don't think
00:55:42.100 I'll ever be able
00:55:42.840 to work
00:55:43.580 or get a job
00:55:44.440 because I'm afraid
00:55:45.180 an employer
00:55:45.680 may not hire me
00:55:46.840 So as somebody
00:55:48.900 who was kind of
00:55:49.940 living it with Kyle
00:55:50.760 in a way
00:55:51.560 on a parallel track
00:55:53.240 at least
00:55:53.720 a witness
00:55:54.640 somebody was there
00:55:55.560 that night
00:55:55.960 and so on
00:55:56.540 how do you see
00:55:57.580 what the media
00:55:58.340 and these Democrats
00:55:59.500 I mean it's not
00:56:00.060 you have to say
00:56:01.460 it was people
00:56:02.000 like Kamala Harris
00:56:02.660 it was people
00:56:03.020 like Joe Biden
00:56:03.500 it was people
00:56:03.960 like Hakeem Jeffries
00:56:05.080 head of the
00:56:05.860 Democratic Congressional Congress
00:56:07.500 those are the ones
00:56:08.740 who demonized him
00:56:09.520 publicly
00:56:09.920 and have not apologized
00:56:11.960 not even a little
00:56:12.880 how do you see their role
00:56:13.720 yeah
00:56:14.640 so basically
00:56:15.880 that piece
00:56:16.520 was one slice
00:56:18.040 of you know
00:56:18.960 basically
00:56:19.300 how each side
00:56:21.020 tried to lionize
00:56:21.800 and demonize
00:56:22.460 them
00:56:23.180 but I'm going to get
00:56:23.820 into that much deeper
00:56:24.740 and there will be
00:56:26.120 much more to come
00:56:26.960 regarding that story
00:56:28.720 of how
00:56:29.180 I remember
00:56:30.460 the next morning
00:56:31.360 I didn't even sleep
00:56:32.200 I was at the cops
00:56:33.060 the police station
00:56:34.540 until like 4.30 a.m
00:56:35.700 got home
00:56:36.420 there was a Vice News article
00:56:37.240 that stated that he opened fire
00:56:38.520 and that was when I decided
00:56:39.620 okay
00:56:39.880 I got to go on the news
00:56:40.680 as fast as possible
00:56:41.500 because it's crazy
00:56:43.020 that people in the media
00:56:43.900 are taking what happened
00:56:45.680 and claiming that he opened fire
00:56:47.100 because you know
00:56:48.300 opened fire on protesters
00:56:49.520 they said
00:56:50.080 so basically like
00:56:51.660 from the moment
00:56:52.880 that I saw that article
00:56:54.200 I knew that
00:56:54.980 there was going to be
00:56:55.660 a huge narrative
00:56:56.440 that was being spun up
00:56:57.280 and then the fact
00:56:57.800 that he was being called
00:56:58.440 a white supremacist
00:56:59.360 obviously
00:57:00.160 that just takes
00:57:01.200 a step even further
00:57:02.380 I did state
00:57:04.260 in the piece
00:57:04.740 that you know
00:57:05.320 one side called him a hero
00:57:06.580 the other side
00:57:07.180 called him a white supremacist
00:57:08.380 and neither of those
00:57:09.280 were true
00:57:09.720 so I you know
00:57:11.500 basically
00:57:12.040 both of those characters
00:57:13.240 I will say though
00:57:13.600 but I will say
00:57:14.520 it was not
00:57:15.060 it wasn't even
00:57:15.700 at all
00:57:16.400 it was like
00:57:17.020 a complete media
00:57:17.900 pylon in the guy
00:57:19.220 yes
00:57:19.660 and then there were
00:57:20.380 some more right-leaning
00:57:21.280 journalists
00:57:21.880 who called him a hero
00:57:22.600 but I think
00:57:23.000 a lot of people
00:57:23.600 on the right
00:57:23.880 were just open-minded
00:57:24.620 to his self-defense claims
00:57:26.000 it was like
00:57:27.120 they're not equivalent
00:57:28.280 would you agree
00:57:29.280 I mean
00:57:29.580 I would agree
00:57:30.500 the amount of
00:57:31.120 incoming he took
00:57:32.500 from the media
00:57:33.040 was breathtaking
00:57:34.280 100%
00:57:35.800 but I also don't think
00:57:37.480 that that warrants
00:57:38.220 you know
00:57:38.780 the right
00:57:39.720 taking a reactionary
00:57:41.240 approach
00:57:41.600 which is like
00:57:42.220 well if they say
00:57:43.020 he's the worst
00:57:43.580 then we're gonna
00:57:44.080 you know
00:57:44.820 prop him up
00:57:46.080 and not talk honestly
00:57:47.340 about the
00:57:47.980 just pulled a couple
00:57:49.600 of you know
00:57:50.800 examples
00:57:51.340 this is
00:57:53.340 we saw some
00:57:54.100 stuff like this
00:57:54.700 but
00:57:55.040 NAACP president
00:57:57.380 commented
00:57:57.840 after the verdict
00:57:59.120 this verdict
00:58:00.000 reminds us
00:58:00.640 of the treacherous
00:58:01.520 role that white
00:58:02.420 supremacy and privilege
00:58:03.420 play within our
00:58:04.020 just
00:58:04.200 what
00:58:04.520 what
00:58:05.640 then there was
00:58:06.660 Reverend Al Sharpton
00:58:07.440 never misses a moment
00:58:08.300 to exploit
00:58:08.860 these continue
00:58:10.160 to be dark days
00:58:11.200 for black people
00:58:12.000 killed at the hands
00:58:12.820 of people that believe
00:58:13.520 our lives do not matter
00:58:14.360 there were no black
00:58:15.480 people there that night
00:58:16.660 and involved in the
00:58:18.000 shootings right
00:58:18.580 nobody
00:58:18.960 no black person
00:58:19.620 was shot that night
00:58:20.420 and no black person
00:58:21.300 was doing the shooting
00:58:22.600 that night in Kenosha
00:58:23.920 but still
00:58:25.820 like the race baiters
00:58:27.180 like Sharpton
00:58:27.760 again never miss an
00:58:29.100 opportunity
00:58:29.440 all right
00:58:29.720 let me turn the page
00:58:30.480 because I know we only
00:58:31.180 have a minute left
00:58:31.800 the New York Times
00:58:33.200 decided
00:58:34.740 I mean this is like
00:58:35.560 a theme in your life
00:58:37.080 getting smeared
00:58:37.640 totally unfairly
00:58:39.920 after January 6th
00:58:41.180 where you were covering
00:58:41.980 that too
00:58:42.440 in your role as a journalist
00:58:43.320 they put you
00:58:44.800 in the New York Times
00:58:46.180 in an article called
00:58:47.800 The American Abyss
00:58:48.840 picture of you
00:58:49.720 a historian of fascism
00:58:52.320 and political atrocity
00:58:53.780 on Trump
00:58:54.720 the mob
00:58:55.120 and what comes next
00:58:55.980 next
00:58:56.400 you're right there
00:58:57.860 without your shirt
00:58:58.960 they
00:59:00.440 I'm looking for my phone
00:59:02.220 I lost my phone
00:59:03.080 all right
00:59:03.800 just saying your shirt
00:59:04.660 off again
00:59:05.280 okay for our listening
00:59:06.420 audience
00:59:06.940 make it as a jaybird
00:59:08.200 from the belt up
00:59:09.880 and they
00:59:12.480 this is the caption
00:59:13.540 a rioter
00:59:14.640 a rioter
00:59:15.760 that's you
00:59:16.260 during the mayhem
00:59:17.760 at the Capitol
00:59:18.420 period
00:59:19.040 he punched the door
00:59:20.620 after being pepper sprayed
00:59:21.920 and forced out of the
00:59:23.260 building
00:59:23.600 3 45 p.m.
00:59:25.840 virtually every word
00:59:26.520 in that is untrue
00:59:27.420 yeah
00:59:28.580 also it's hilarious
00:59:29.900 that they claim
00:59:30.560 that like I punched
00:59:31.640 that door
00:59:32.840 and somehow
00:59:33.520 that was me
00:59:34.180 who broke it
00:59:34.700 because when I got
00:59:35.540 knocked down
00:59:35.960 it was actually
00:59:36.360 right as they were
00:59:37.200 closing the final doors
00:59:38.220 I was trying to capture
00:59:38.860 that last moment
00:59:40.060 of the last group
00:59:40.740 being forced out
00:59:41.800 and I got
00:59:42.420 knocked into the door
00:59:43.940 my head hit the door
00:59:44.920 and I'm a hockey player
00:59:46.020 like I'm
00:59:46.440 I'm holding on
00:59:47.500 to that phone
00:59:48.540 no matter what
00:59:49.600 and I've been in
00:59:50.080 situations where I've
00:59:50.660 been knocked down
00:59:51.240 and clutching it
00:59:52.260 I got my bell rung
00:59:53.560 concussion
00:59:54.220 and dropped my phone
00:59:55.300 and so I landed on
00:59:56.220 actually a pry bar
00:59:57.180 not a crowbar
00:59:58.120 but like a bar
00:59:58.700 that's like this long
00:59:59.560 which is used
01:00:00.380 to pry open
01:00:00.960 you know
01:00:01.460 very heavy things
01:00:02.260 and I landed on that
01:00:03.740 I'm bleeding
01:00:04.320 I get up
01:00:05.300 and I'm tapping
01:00:05.900 on the window
01:00:06.500 phone
01:00:07.440 you know
01:00:08.320 where's my phone
01:00:09.080 to the cops
01:00:09.740 it looks like
01:00:10.100 I'm saying fuck
01:00:10.820 in the photo
01:00:12.000 I'm saying phone
01:00:13.120 and I'm tapping
01:00:13.900 with my finger
01:00:14.560 and so the
01:00:15.460 they take that photo
01:00:17.000 and then me tapping
01:00:18.380 my finger
01:00:19.040 and saying phone
01:00:19.860 turns into
01:00:21.000 he punched
01:00:21.780 he broke that door
01:00:22.660 you know
01:00:23.160 that's the implication
01:00:23.820 he's a rioter
01:00:25.020 he looks like
01:00:25.620 did they ever call you
01:00:26.400 did the times
01:00:28.020 before running this
01:00:28.900 call you at all
01:00:29.600 oh so I
01:00:30.840 they did not call me prior
01:00:32.260 no absolutely
01:00:32.860 absolutely not
01:00:34.080 they didn't call me
01:00:35.520 I don't even think
01:00:35.940 they knew that
01:00:36.560 they'd relied on me
01:00:37.520 for a lot of the stuff
01:00:38.580 in Kenosha
01:00:39.060 I talked with their
01:00:39.640 forensics reporter
01:00:40.320 like in multiple nights
01:00:42.140 multiple hours
01:00:42.940 so make sure that he got
01:00:43.760 a lot of the details
01:00:44.420 right
01:00:44.720 so no
01:00:46.440 they didn't run
01:00:47.120 anything by me
01:00:47.860 and then they
01:00:48.620 actually issued
01:00:50.020 I had to get them
01:00:51.160 to issue multiple
01:00:51.760 corrections after the fact
01:00:52.680 yeah the first correction
01:00:53.620 um says
01:00:54.680 okay
01:00:55.620 we were wrong
01:00:56.780 in the earlier version
01:00:57.640 of the essay
01:00:58.300 misidentified the shirtless man
01:01:00.220 um
01:01:01.100 he was a videographer
01:01:02.060 working for the Daily Caller
01:01:03.300 a right-wing website
01:01:04.300 not one of the Trump supporters
01:01:05.820 who's not good enough
01:01:07.040 New York Times
01:01:07.820 they had said
01:01:08.940 you were a rioter
01:01:10.120 that you would punch
01:01:10.680 the door
01:01:11.500 what are you talking about
01:01:12.720 you're gonna have to be
01:01:13.940 a little bit more forthcoming
01:01:15.100 or I'm gonna sue your ass
01:01:16.440 that's really what was going on
01:01:17.920 so then finally come out
01:01:18.700 with another correction
01:01:19.580 saying
01:01:19.960 uh
01:01:20.960 wrong again
01:01:22.040 they got out
01:01:24.180 they got rid of the right-wing
01:01:25.220 thing
01:01:25.540 because somebody there
01:01:26.320 wised up and said
01:01:27.320 let's not be douchebags
01:01:28.580 well I
01:01:29.100 I hired my own lawyer
01:01:30.160 and there's a
01:01:30.660 there's a long story there
01:01:31.800 on how that all happened
01:01:32.960 but
01:01:33.160 even that had to be forced out
01:01:34.640 I
01:01:36.540 I paid for it
01:01:37.460 literally
01:01:38.080 um
01:01:39.460 and I mean
01:01:40.540 I had a great lawyer
01:01:41.380 but
01:01:42.060 basically
01:01:42.900 you know
01:01:43.340 I talked to 50 lawyers
01:01:44.340 before I talked
01:01:44.940 before I settled on him
01:01:45.960 and they're all saying
01:01:46.500 oh we're gonna go to the Supreme Court
01:01:48.180 and we're gonna just
01:01:49.380 keep going
01:01:50.160 until they
01:01:50.760 pay up
01:01:51.360 and this lawyer
01:01:52.540 uh
01:01:53.380 who I won't name
01:01:53.920 because I haven't gotten his permission
01:01:54.680 but he was like
01:01:55.580 yeah I bet you everybody's telling you
01:01:56.680 we're gonna take it to the Supreme Court
01:01:57.480 he goes
01:01:57.720 guess what
01:01:58.140 they're getting paid
01:01:58.840 and you're paying them
01:01:59.900 that whole time
01:02:00.780 he's like
01:02:01.620 I'll pursue corrective action
01:02:02.800 give me your wish list
01:02:04.400 and pay me x amount
01:02:05.860 you know
01:02:06.640 it was
01:02:07.000 I sold some dogecoin
01:02:07.920 so it was uh
01:02:08.960 it was good that I sold that
01:02:10.000 at the time
01:02:10.440 anyways
01:02:10.920 um
01:02:11.680 and so I'm not
01:02:13.040 I'm not um
01:02:13.940 like it's such a long story
01:02:16.300 in terms of how the first correction happened
01:02:17.780 and how
01:02:18.200 you know
01:02:18.780 I kind of argued for the second correction
01:02:20.180 and it still wasn't good enough
01:02:21.120 and then I had to go
01:02:21.820 and hire a lawyer
01:02:22.540 and um
01:02:23.520 but that whole story
01:02:24.360 I think it's a great way to unpack
01:02:25.620 you know
01:02:25.880 how these tragedies happen
01:02:27.560 and then get completely manipulated
01:02:28.940 like
01:02:29.320 you know
01:02:29.880 people were saying that
01:02:30.780 um
01:02:31.160 Kyle opened fire
01:02:32.080 or people were
01:02:32.720 like used me
01:02:33.780 as that same
01:02:34.900 kind of caricature of evil
01:02:36.540 shirtless
01:02:37.500 you know
01:02:38.180 I'm not gonna lie
01:02:39.580 my hair's long
01:02:40.320 you know
01:02:40.560 I look kind of like
01:02:41.520 a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal
01:02:42.980 okay
01:02:43.280 well you have a weird face on
01:02:44.620 but
01:02:44.820 but your muscles look good
01:02:45.960 but you know
01:02:49.880 no you're right
01:02:50.780 this is all part of the same
01:02:51.960 long story
01:02:52.760 about a media
01:02:53.340 that's agenda-driven
01:02:54.320 and not fact-driven
01:02:55.660 unlike you
01:02:57.060 I'd like to believe myself as well
01:02:58.700 um
01:02:59.560 and so that leads me to my last point
01:03:01.340 which is
01:03:01.920 what next
01:03:02.820 you're
01:03:03.320 you left the Daily Caller
01:03:04.480 why
01:03:05.720 and what next
01:03:06.800 well I left
01:03:08.880 because
01:03:09.420 I've been
01:03:10.080 number one
01:03:10.960 trying to unpack
01:03:11.500 everything that happened
01:03:12.080 in 2020 and 2021
01:03:13.240 uh
01:03:13.900 writing all that down
01:03:14.700 and it's
01:03:16.240 I've been doing it all
01:03:17.220 in my off time
01:03:17.880 on the weekends
01:03:18.480 and now that I have
01:03:19.600 you know
01:03:20.280 basically
01:03:20.920 a manuscript together
01:03:21.960 I have to edit it
01:03:22.680 it's an incredible amount of work
01:03:24.100 so that's one
01:03:24.880 and
01:03:25.060 but number two
01:03:26.160 uh
01:03:26.980 the typecasting
01:03:28.280 that we were talking about
01:03:29.100 through
01:03:29.480 you know
01:03:30.040 both
01:03:31.460 both sides
01:03:32.140 uh
01:03:32.500 one side typecasting me
01:03:34.040 as tripandering to the left
01:03:35.380 uh
01:03:36.040 when my opinion is
01:03:36.980 is not in their favor
01:03:38.140 and then
01:03:38.520 uh
01:03:39.160 one side
01:03:39.660 you know
01:03:39.920 calling me a
01:03:40.620 right-wing
01:03:41.320 rioter
01:03:42.200 etc
01:03:42.840 um
01:03:43.900 I just wanted to step outside of that
01:03:45.600 and just
01:03:46.160 kind of
01:03:46.780 be free to say
01:03:48.880 whatever I want
01:03:49.640 regardless of
01:03:50.300 uh
01:03:50.660 workplace typecast
01:03:51.600 and my first story
01:03:53.040 that I'm working on
01:03:53.720 um
01:03:54.020 I've known this
01:03:54.800 uh
01:03:55.080 well he likes being called a bum
01:03:56.600 so I'm using the term bum
01:03:57.500 I actually talked to him about that
01:03:58.700 um
01:03:59.260 he claims that they're the
01:04:00.080 the wisest people in DC
01:04:01.300 because they see everybody
01:04:02.320 um
01:04:03.200 but
01:04:03.480 he
01:04:03.860 I've been
01:04:04.240 I've known this guy for eight years
01:04:05.500 you know
01:04:05.800 I give him a couple cigarettes
01:04:07.100 or a couple bucks
01:04:08.120 or you know
01:04:09.040 a nugget of weed
01:04:09.620 whatever to help him
01:04:11.020 over the last eight years
01:04:11.880 and I've just been sitting down
01:04:13.100 talking to him
01:04:13.700 um
01:04:14.460 you know
01:04:15.120 under the bridge
01:04:15.880 and we're just hanging out
01:04:17.040 eating steak
01:04:17.560 and so
01:04:18.340 I think that
01:04:19.020 the message there is like
01:04:20.480 I'm sick and tired of the media
01:04:21.780 saying
01:04:22.120 oh you can't talk to this person
01:04:23.300 or you can't put a human face
01:04:24.400 on that person
01:04:25.040 I
01:04:25.640 I will
01:04:26.280 you know
01:04:26.820 talk to whoever
01:04:27.560 and elicit their truth
01:04:29.260 and then let the audience decide
01:04:30.500 and
01:04:31.240 so
01:04:31.920 while
01:04:32.400 you know
01:04:32.820 I put my opinion
01:04:34.040 in that Newsweek piece
01:04:34.960 I do
01:04:35.260 I do want to approach
01:04:36.380 these kinds of stories
01:04:39.520 that are getting polarized
01:04:40.360 by the media
01:04:40.960 really with
01:04:41.620 that same strategy
01:04:42.600 that we did
01:04:43.180 in 2020
01:04:44.040 which is just be a fly on the wall
01:04:45.400 and elicit their
01:04:46.120 their truth
01:04:46.960 but now that I'm
01:04:47.580 I'm doing it on my own
01:04:48.400 really the
01:04:48.760 you know
01:04:49.120 the coverage
01:04:49.560 what stories I decide to focus on
01:04:51.040 that's
01:04:51.280 that's up to me
01:04:51.880 which is
01:04:52.280 my favorite part about it
01:04:53.360 that's great
01:04:54.380 and uh
01:04:55.720 what
01:04:56.000 Substack
01:04:56.500 I would assume
01:04:57.600 that'll be one outlet
01:04:58.280 RichieMcGinnis.substack.com
01:04:59.900 okay good
01:05:00.980 and also
01:05:01.740 the Megan Kelly show
01:05:02.780 well we

01:05:18.700 you will not believe this
01:05:19.740 but there is breaking news
01:05:20.740 about Megan Markle
01:05:21.720 uh
01:05:22.500 we'll tell you who's coming forward
01:05:24.100 to challenge
01:05:25.180 her latest round of BS
01:05:27.100 in that magazine article
01:05:28.760 that's getting all that buzz
01:05:29.760 you're not gonna wanna miss this
01:05:30.960 my guest here
01:05:36.260 is Maureen Callahan
01:05:37.460 critic at large
01:05:38.420 for the New York Post
01:05:39.220 if you don't read
01:05:40.080 Maureen Callahan
01:05:40.820 oh you are missing out
01:05:42.400 she is so great
01:05:44.320 with a pen
01:05:45.060 her piece was on the cover
01:05:46.660 of the Post yesterday
01:05:47.440 and she gives a hilarious
01:05:48.600 and unforgiving
01:05:50.160 and totally honest take
01:05:51.640 on what she calls
01:05:52.840 toddler and tiara tantrums
01:05:54.640 that Megan Markle
01:05:55.840 continues to throw
01:05:56.680 over her alleged
01:05:57.900 mistreatment
01:05:58.880 by the royal family
01:06:00.540 Maureen welcome to the show
01:06:01.980 oh thanks so much
01:06:02.980 for having me Megan
01:06:03.840 thanks for that intro
01:06:05.040 oh it's amazing
01:06:06.680 I read everything you write
01:06:07.700 and uh
01:06:08.240 oh thanks
01:06:08.700 oh my god
01:06:09.720 we all circulate
01:06:10.420 we're like Maureen
01:06:11.100 she's back
01:06:11.780 if you haven't seen
01:06:12.640 the one she did
01:06:13.060 on Alec Baldwin
01:06:13.620 a couple of weeks ago
01:06:14.380 you're missing out
01:06:15.040 um okay
01:06:16.060 so she said
01:06:17.900 so Megan Markle
01:06:19.040 said
01:06:19.520 that
01:06:20.540 she
01:06:21.640 saw
01:06:22.560 the live production
01:06:23.440 of the Lion King
01:06:24.300 in London
01:06:24.960 this is what she says
01:06:26.160 to the Cut magazine
01:06:27.100 and that
01:06:28.060 when she saw it
01:06:29.280 someone came out
01:06:30.580 from the cast
01:06:31.680 who was from
01:06:32.340 South Africa
01:06:33.120 and told her
01:06:34.760 that
01:06:35.540 that
01:06:36.360 basically
01:06:37.460 when she married
01:06:39.180 Prince Harry
01:06:39.860 it was as big
01:06:41.280 uh in South Africa
01:06:42.780 as when
01:06:43.480 Nelson Mandela
01:06:44.620 was freed
01:06:45.680 okay
01:06:46.360 so already
01:06:50.820 it says a lot
01:06:52.080 about Megan
01:06:52.540 like
01:06:52.880 okay
01:06:53.500 so I'm thinking
01:06:54.100 all right
01:06:55.100 the fact that
01:06:56.620 she would choose
01:06:57.340 that anecdote
01:06:58.100 to relay
01:06:59.260 to New York Magazine
01:07:00.140 essentially the cut
01:07:01.160 as indicative
01:07:02.580 of her press
01:07:03.380 and how people feel
01:07:04.060 about her
01:07:04.440 is totally
01:07:05.160 tone deaf
01:07:06.660 and in
01:07:07.460 her head
01:07:07.920 is in the clouds
01:07:08.440 because
01:07:08.720 people have said
01:07:09.800 crazy nice things
01:07:10.920 to me
01:07:11.220 and they've said
01:07:11.680 crazy mean things
01:07:12.640 to me
01:07:12.940 and I would
01:07:13.560 never repeat
01:07:14.300 them to a reporter
01:07:15.440 as indicative
01:07:16.260 of what my
01:07:17.500 press is
01:07:18.020 or how people
01:07:18.520 really feel
01:07:19.160 about me
01:07:19.560 right
01:07:19.800 so the fact
01:07:20.620 that she plucked
01:07:21.320 that one
01:07:21.800 to say
01:07:22.600 this
01:07:23.100 this is what
01:07:23.860 I mean
01:07:24.400 to the people
01:07:25.120 tells you a lot
01:07:26.320 about Megan
01:07:26.740 Markle
01:07:27.060 but now we find
01:07:28.360 out
01:07:28.660 it appears
01:07:29.900 to have been
01:07:30.480 a lie
01:07:31.120 you don't
01:07:33.340 say
01:07:33.740 the Daily Mail
01:07:37.400 and God bless
01:07:38.140 the Daily Mail
01:07:38.780 for going
01:07:39.260 and doing this
01:07:39.920 they went
01:07:41.000 and found
01:07:41.740 all of the
01:07:42.700 actors
01:07:43.160 who were in
01:07:44.120 that live
01:07:44.900 version of
01:07:45.320 the Lion King
01:07:45.860 and they
01:07:46.920 found the
01:07:48.200 one guy
01:07:48.940 who was
01:07:50.100 from South
01:07:50.740 Africa
01:07:51.120 as Megan
01:07:51.660 claims
01:07:52.060 the person
01:07:52.580 who said
01:07:52.880 this to her
01:07:53.300 was in
01:07:53.940 the cast
01:07:54.440 and from
01:07:55.220 South Africa
01:07:55.860 okay and I'm
01:07:56.620 going to read
01:07:56.860 it to you
01:07:57.180 an acclaimed
01:07:58.400 actor and friend
01:07:59.100 of Nelson
01:07:59.520 Mandela today
01:08:01.060 told Daily Mail
01:08:01.800 he's baffled
01:08:02.540 by her suggestions
01:08:03.880 that the country
01:08:04.480 had rejoiced
01:08:05.120 when she married
01:08:05.660 Prince Harry
01:08:06.200 and revealed
01:08:07.160 he's never
01:08:08.060 met her
01:08:08.760 despite claiming
01:08:10.120 to be the only
01:08:10.980 South African
01:08:11.520 member of the
01:08:12.040 cast in Disney's
01:08:12.820 remake of the
01:08:13.400 Lion King
01:08:13.780 he's gone
01:08:15.220 on the record
01:08:15.640 his name
01:08:16.340 is Dr.
01:08:16.820 John
01:08:17.040 Connie
01:08:17.500 K-A-N-I
01:08:19.260 he believes
01:08:20.160 the Duchess
01:08:20.680 of Sussex
01:08:21.160 has made
01:08:21.600 a quote
01:08:21.940 faux pas
01:08:22.520 after she
01:08:23.480 used a
01:08:23.800 US magazine
01:08:24.320 interview
01:08:24.640 to imply
01:08:25.140 that her
01:08:25.500 royal wedding
01:08:26.040 sparked
01:08:26.320 celebrations
01:08:26.840 in South
01:08:27.260 Africa
01:08:27.560 reminiscent
01:08:27.980 of the
01:08:28.880 release
01:08:29.260 of his
01:08:29.660 friend
01:08:30.300 Nelson
01:08:31.740 Mandela
01:08:32.080 the legendary
01:08:32.740 anti-apartheid
01:08:33.640 leader
01:08:33.860 he said
01:08:34.780 Mr.
01:08:35.040 Mandela's
01:08:35.400 walk to
01:08:35.660 freedom
01:08:35.840 after 27
01:08:36.380 years
01:08:36.660 was a landmark
01:08:37.220 moment
01:08:37.660 while her
01:08:38.460 marriage
01:08:38.700 to Prince
01:08:38.980 Harry
01:08:39.180 was no big
01:08:39.680 deal
01:08:40.000 in South
01:08:40.720 Africa
01:08:41.080 adding that
01:08:42.000 the two
01:08:42.260 events
01:08:42.540 quote
01:08:42.780 cannot be
01:08:43.260 spoken of
01:08:43.900 in the
01:08:44.220 same breath
01:08:44.960 and you
01:08:45.640 can't really
01:08:46.060 even say
01:08:46.580 where you
01:08:46.920 were when
01:08:47.440 Meghan
01:08:47.660 married
01:08:48.000 Harry
01:08:48.280 she of
01:08:49.720 course
01:08:49.960 had gone
01:08:50.360 on
01:08:50.560 blah blah
01:08:50.820 blah
01:08:50.980 oh here's
01:08:51.360 her quote
01:08:51.760 I just
01:08:52.240 need you
01:08:52.520 to know
01:08:52.860 he allegedly
01:08:53.360 looked at
01:08:53.700 me and
01:08:53.960 said
01:08:54.220 I just
01:08:54.920 need you
01:08:55.220 to know
01:08:55.540 when you
01:08:55.820 married
01:08:56.040 into this
01:08:56.480 family
01:08:56.860 we rejoiced
01:08:57.900 in the
01:08:58.160 streets
01:08:58.460 the same
01:08:58.900 as we
01:08:59.140 did when
01:08:59.420 Mandela
01:08:59.760 was freed
01:09:00.180 from prison
01:09:00.700 but Dr.
01:09:01.740 Connie
01:09:02.000 a veteran
01:09:02.440 of the
01:09:02.740 Royal
01:09:02.920 Shakespeare
01:09:03.220 company
01:09:03.640 who voiced
01:09:04.120 the
01:09:04.360 Mandrill
01:09:10.000 in the
01:09:10.240 production
01:09:10.640 he's
01:09:11.320 never
01:09:11.560 met
01:09:11.820 Meghan
01:09:12.140 he was
01:09:12.840 not at
01:09:13.200 the UK
01:09:13.560 premiere
01:09:14.020 and he
01:09:16.300 said the
01:09:16.620 only other
01:09:17.160 South African
01:09:17.720 who was
01:09:18.000 involved
01:09:18.340 was
01:09:18.660 Lebo
01:09:19.060 M
01:09:19.340 a composer
01:09:20.020 who was
01:09:21.060 responsible
01:09:21.440 for the
01:09:21.840 music
01:09:22.140 but he
01:09:22.560 was not
01:09:22.920 in the
01:09:23.140 cast
01:09:23.500 anyway
01:09:24.160 Maureen
01:09:24.860 it appears
01:09:25.720 to be
01:09:26.260 completely
01:09:26.880 made up
01:09:28.160 oh you
01:09:30.060 know I
01:09:30.460 feel as
01:09:31.340 though
01:09:31.780 everyone
01:09:32.480 aside from
01:09:33.420 Meghan
01:09:33.740 Markle
01:09:34.440 has
01:09:35.440 realized
01:09:36.180 that Meghan
01:09:36.700 Markle
01:09:37.160 is now
01:09:37.580 firmly
01:09:38.180 in camp
01:09:38.820 territory
01:09:39.400 you know
01:09:40.540 to
01:09:40.980 compare
01:09:42.740 yourself
01:09:43.760 you know
01:09:44.640 a minor
01:09:45.420 royal
01:09:46.220 who worked
01:09:47.020 for I
01:09:47.940 think 18
01:09:48.540 months
01:09:48.900 maybe
01:09:49.320 to Nelson
01:09:51.020 Mandela
01:09:51.520 I mean
01:09:51.900 I said
01:09:53.040 in the
01:09:53.260 column
01:09:53.600 it's clear
01:09:54.160 she has
01:09:54.540 no friends
01:09:55.380 left
01:09:56.200 it's clear
01:09:56.720 that there
01:09:57.320 is no
01:09:57.760 publicist
01:09:58.480 or crisis
01:09:59.600 manager
01:10:00.100 of repute
01:10:01.040 who would
01:10:01.920 work with
01:10:02.480 her
01:10:02.780 you know
01:10:03.840 I just
01:10:05.480 it
01:10:05.780 it
01:10:06.700 it
01:10:07.480 made me
01:10:08.120 laugh out
01:10:08.720 loud
01:10:09.060 but also
01:10:09.740 it was
01:10:10.260 jaw-dropping
01:10:11.200 and offensive
01:10:12.040 and
01:10:12.980 narcissistic
01:10:14.700 isn't a big
01:10:15.220 enough word
01:10:15.960 but I
01:10:17.200 you know
01:10:17.760 she just
01:10:18.740 she keeps
01:10:20.020 giving us
01:10:20.920 like
01:10:21.880 this is the
01:10:23.040 content
01:10:23.400 she's providing
01:10:24.300 she doesn't
01:10:25.280 realize it's
01:10:26.460 it's comic
01:10:27.160 relief
01:10:27.780 we're not
01:10:28.940 admiring her
01:10:29.820 no
01:10:30.140 and then
01:10:31.540 and then
01:10:31.820 when we
01:10:32.120 don't admire
01:10:32.700 her
01:10:32.940 she gets
01:10:33.300 confused
01:10:33.700 like
01:10:33.960 I'm being
01:10:34.880 misrepresented
01:10:35.640 again
01:10:36.300 as opposed
01:10:37.160 to the
01:10:37.480 reality
01:10:37.900 of
01:10:38.180 no
01:10:38.640 you're
01:10:38.880 perfectly
01:10:39.280 well
01:10:39.620 represented
01:10:40.120 we
01:10:40.400 see
01:10:40.840 exactly
01:10:41.440 who
01:10:41.740 you
01:10:41.940 are
01:10:42.320 and
01:10:42.960 are
01:10:43.180 reacting
01:10:43.580 accordingly
01:10:44.120 well
01:10:45.160 the
01:10:45.520 you know
01:10:46.160 you mentioned
01:10:46.660 at the
01:10:47.000 top of
01:10:47.940 the
01:10:48.280 segment
01:10:48.800 her
01:10:49.880 second
01:10:50.340 podcast
01:10:51.120 episode
01:10:52.080 I
01:10:52.700 listened
01:10:53.120 to the
01:10:53.400 first
01:10:53.620 it was
01:10:53.860 really
01:10:54.240 it was
01:10:54.720 really
01:10:55.100 tough
01:10:55.320 going
01:10:55.600 I mean
01:10:55.820 I
01:10:55.960 earned
01:10:56.300 my
01:10:56.500 paycheck
01:10:56.800 that
01:10:57.100 week
01:10:57.380 but
01:10:58.200 you know

01:11:00.720 saying to
01:11:01.160 her

01:11:01.700 given us
01:11:02.080 some diva
01:11:02.520 moments
01:11:02.920 and
01:11:03.220 you know

01:11:05.240 on
01:11:05.600 air
01:11:06.080 meltdown
01:11:07.320 in which
01:11:07.640 she
01:11:07.800 sort
01:11:08.020 of
01:11:08.140 talks
01:11:08.620 herself
01:11:09.020 out
01:11:09.360 of
01:11:09.640 believing
01:11:10.060 that
01:11:10.380 somehow
01:11:10.820 shade
01:11:11.460 into
01:11:12.380 Mariah
01:11:13.180 actually
01:11:13.560 paying
01:11:13.940 her
01:11:14.160 the
01:11:14.340 highest
01:11:14.660 of
01:11:14.820 compliments
01:11:15.320 you know

01:11:16.540 a really
01:11:16.940 fascinating
01:11:17.540 window
01:11:17.900 into
01:11:18.140 that
01:11:18.380 psyche
01:11:18.760 where
01:11:19.360 criticism
01:11:20.700 of
01:11:21.000 any
01:11:21.200 kind
01:11:21.700 it
01:11:21.960 just

01:11:22.780 be
01:11:23.020 tolerated
01:11:23.680 yes
01:11:24.500 that's
01:11:25.240 exactly
01:11:25.500 right

01:11:25.840 has a
01:11:26.060 pattern
01:11:26.320 of
01:11:26.480 that

01:11:43.020 the
01:11:43.320 more
01:11:43.540 she
01:11:43.740 talks

01:11:44.220 more
01:11:44.360 I'm
01:11:44.500 like
01:11:44.680 now

01:11:45.320 get
01:11:45.580 it
01:11:45.860 like
01:11:46.360 Mariah
01:11:47.420 Carrie
01:11:47.940 who
01:11:48.580 Megan
01:11:48.980 is
01:11:49.260 calling
01:11:49.660 a
01:11:49.920 diva
01:11:50.380 turns
01:11:51.180 to
01:11:51.340 her
01:11:51.460 and

01:11:52.280 diva
01:11:52.580 moments

01:11:53.300 and
01:11:53.880 she's
01:11:54.200 so
01:11:54.400 wounded
01:11:54.920 that
01:11:55.620 she
01:11:55.780 later
01:11:56.040 says
01:11:56.340 she
01:11:56.500 began
01:11:56.840 sweating
01:11:57.440 and
01:11:58.040 realized
01:11:58.380 her
01:11:58.600 girl
01:11:59.000 crush
01:11:59.360 might
01:11:59.600 be
01:11:59.820 over
01:12:00.260 and
01:12:00.920 was
01:12:01.240 only
01:12:01.460 able
01:12:01.700 to
01:12:01.860 move
01:12:02.020 past
01:12:02.480 it
01:12:02.700 once
01:12:03.320 Mariah
01:12:03.940 clarified
01:12:04.660 that
01:12:05.420 she
01:12:05.620 meant
01:12:05.940 it
01:12:06.080 as
01:12:06.280 a
01:12:06.440 compliment
01:12:06.920 and
01:12:07.180 was
01:12:07.360 speaking
01:12:07.720 about
01:12:08.080 Megan's
01:12:08.500 looks
01:12:08.980 I
01:12:09.820 threw
01:12:10.180 up
01:12:10.420 a
01:12:10.560 little
01:12:10.660 in
01:12:10.820 my
01:12:10.980 mouth
01:12:11.280 Maureen
01:12:11.680 yeah

01:12:15.040 mean
01:12:15.200 this
01:12:15.360 is
01:12:15.500 kind
01:12:15.780 of
01:12:15.880 what
01:12:16.000 we're
01:12:16.160 in
01:12:16.340 for
01:12:16.540 I
01:12:16.700 think
01:12:16.900 her
01:12:17.080 presence
01:12:19.080 on
01:12:19.320 Spotify
01:12:19.680 will
01:12:20.080 not
01:12:20.420 be
01:12:20.580 a
01:12:20.760 long
01:12:21.040 one
01:12:21.460 I
01:12:23.260 just
01:12:25.700 the
01:12:26.240 other
01:12:26.420 thing
01:12:26.660 that
01:12:26.860 you know
01:12:28.280 perplexes
01:12:29.200 me
01:12:29.440 and
01:12:30.740 we
01:12:30.900 saw
01:12:31.200 it
01:12:31.340 with

01:12:32.300 and
01:12:32.520 I'm
01:12:33.460 not
01:12:33.640 saying
01:12:33.900 this
01:12:34.080 in
01:12:34.200 any
01:12:34.540 self
01:12:34.800 congratulatory
01:12:35.540 way
01:12:35.820 but
01:12:36.000 at
01:12:36.120 the
01:12:36.220 time
01:12:36.560 I
01:12:36.760 felt
01:12:37.000 like
01:12:37.160 I
01:12:37.280 was
01:12:37.400 the
01:12:37.540 only
01:12:37.780 person
01:12:38.160 watching
01:12:38.560 it
01:12:38.820 who
01:12:39.360 thought
01:12:39.660 she
01:12:39.820 was
01:12:39.980 completely
01:12:40.480 full
01:12:40.900 of
01:12:41.040 it
01:12:41.260 you
01:12:41.540 know
01:12:41.780 it
01:12:42.400 was
01:12:42.540 such
01:12:42.700 a
01:12:42.860 terrible
01:12:43.340 performance
01:12:44.020 and
01:12:45.100 Prince
01:12:45.540 Harry
01:12:45.840 looked
01:12:46.160 so
01:12:46.780 uncomfortable
01:12:47.580 especially
01:12:48.280 when
01:12:48.620 she
01:12:48.840 brought
01:12:49.100 up
01:12:49.240 the
01:12:49.340 thing
01:12:49.480 about
01:12:49.700 the
01:12:50.040 quote
01:12:51.160 unquote
01:12:51.440 racist
01:12:51.960 royal
01:12:52.400 you know
01:12:53.020 and
01:12:53.160 you saw
01:12:53.500 Oprah's
01:12:53.940 eyes
01:12:54.180 just
01:12:54.400 light up
01:12:55.160 you know
01:12:55.740 and
01:12:56.140 then
01:12:56.240 they
01:12:56.360 pretended
01:12:56.660 to be
01:12:57.240 offended
01:12:58.320 beyond all
01:12:58.860 measure
01:12:59.120 but
01:12:59.320 you see
01:12:59.820 Oprah
01:13:00.100 going
01:13:00.420 oh my

01:13:01.040 is
01:13:01.160 the
01:13:01.280 most
01:13:01.440 amazing
01:13:01.800 piece
01:13:02.100 of
01:13:02.280 gossip
01:13:02.660 I've
01:13:02.900 heard
01:13:03.080 in
01:13:03.220 forever
01:13:03.560 but
01:13:05.360 she
01:13:05.720 lies
01:13:06.180 she's
01:13:06.500 a liar
01:13:06.920 she's
01:13:07.440 a liar
01:13:07.760 and
01:13:08.560 I
01:13:09.560 see
01:13:10.080 very
01:13:10.800 few

01:13:16.540 in terms
01:13:17.040 of

01:13:20.160 there's
01:13:20.480 something
01:13:20.740 a little
01:13:21.640 bit
01:13:21.820 deeper
01:13:22.080 going
01:13:22.380 on
01:13:22.640 and
01:13:22.780 you
01:13:23.180 know

01:13:31.820 using
01:13:32.220 the

01:13:33.440 a lot
01:13:33.620 of

01:13:34.280 stuff
01:13:34.760 and

01:13:36.700 what
01:13:36.980 she's
01:13:37.220 really
01:13:37.500 doing
01:13:37.860 is
01:13:38.020 trivializing
01:13:38.760 it
01:13:38.940 and
01:13:39.040 what

01:13:41.960 own
01:13:42.140 grave
01:13:42.420 because

01:13:43.100 come
01:13:43.280 a
01:13:43.420 point

01:14:14.940 to
01:14:15.540 Megan
01:14:15.920 in
01:14:16.520 her
01:14:17.040 description
01:14:17.520 of
01:14:17.780 it
01:14:17.920 this
01:14:18.100 was
01:14:18.260 just
01:14:18.520 just
01:14:18.960 the
01:14:19.220 most
01:14:20.440 monstrous
01:14:21.420 thing
01:14:21.900 for

01:14:25.460 with
01:14:25.600 her
01:14:25.740 duties
01:14:26.020 as
01:14:26.240 though
01:14:26.360 nothing
01:14:26.600 had
01:14:26.780 happened
01:14:27.180 because
01:14:27.940 in

01:14:28.800 had
01:14:29.120 happened
01:14:29.560 right

01:14:34.560 on the

01:14:37.320 raging
01:14:37.820 racist
01:14:38.240 basically
01:14:38.700 in the
01:14:38.960 royal
01:14:39.120 family
01:14:39.500 who

01:15:33.440 it
01:15:33.540 what
01:15:33.680 did
01:15:33.780 you
01:15:33.880 do
01:15:34.180 was
01:15:34.640 it
01:15:34.720 ever
01:15:34.880 retracted
01:15:35.420 how
01:15:35.580 did
01:15:35.720 they
01:15:35.840 say
01:15:36.040 it
01:15:36.140 did
01:15:36.240 they
01:15:36.320 actually
01:15:36.540 use
01:15:36.840 it
01:15:37.020 because
01:15:37.340 that
01:15:37.480 word
01:15:37.680 could
01:15:37.840 never
01:15:38.020 appear
01:15:38.320 in
01:15:38.460 paper
01:15:38.840 in
01:15:39.420 today's
01:15:39.740 day
01:15:39.860 like
01:15:40.020 no
01:15:40.500 follow
01:15:40.880 up
01:15:41.160 she
01:15:41.440 throws
01:15:41.820 it
01:15:41.960 out
01:15:42.120 there
01:15:42.420 because
01:15:42.840 she
01:15:42.980 knows
01:15:43.200 that
01:15:43.340 they'll
01:15:43.620 dine
01:15:44.000 on
01:15:44.220 it
01:15:44.360 they'll
01:15:44.640 love
01:15:44.860 it
01:15:45.180 and
01:15:45.460 then
01:15:45.580 on
01:15:45.680 the
01:15:45.800 flip
01:15:46.080 side
01:15:46.480 she's
01:15:47.280 apparently
01:15:47.740 doing
01:15:47.960 the
01:15:48.120 same
01:15:48.320 thing
01:15:48.520 in
01:15:48.600 a
01:15:48.720 positive
01:15:49.260 way
01:15:49.520 she's
01:15:49.840 using
01:15:50.080 race
01:15:50.320 in
01:15:50.420 a
01:15:50.520 positive
01:15:50.880 way
01:15:51.200 and
01:15:51.700 comparing
01:15:52.080 herself
01:15:52.420 to
01:15:52.560 Nelson
01:15:52.880 Mandela
01:15:53.300 which
01:15:53.580 is
01:15:53.720 also
01:15:53.960 a
01:15:54.180 lie
01:15:54.440 it's
01:15:54.840 also
01:15:55.100 I
01:15:55.740 think
01:15:56.140 that's
01:15:56.500 it's
01:15:57.020 terrible
01:15:57.360 Nelson
01:15:59.640 Mandela
01:16:00.220 I mean
01:16:00.620 that's
01:16:00.860 sacrilege
01:16:01.400 I
01:16:01.680 you
01:16:02.080 know
01:16:02.240 but
01:16:02.780 I
01:16:02.960 do
01:16:03.200 think
01:16:03.720 the
01:16:04.080 what
01:16:05.400 you
01:16:05.500 were
01:16:05.600 saying
01:16:05.780 about
01:16:05.980 Oprah
01:16:06.280 I
01:16:06.520 do
01:16:06.700 think
01:16:06.900 Oprah
01:16:07.240 realizes
01:16:08.160 the
01:16:08.940 dent
01:16:09.500 that
01:16:09.860 that
01:16:10.140 interview
01:16:10.460 did
01:16:10.800 to
01:16:11.120 her
01:16:11.340 her
01:16:11.660 legacy
01:16:12.020 her
01:16:12.280 brand
01:16:12.740 she's
01:16:13.380 kept
01:16:13.580 her
01:16:13.720 distance
01:16:14.040 since
01:16:14.460 it
01:16:14.860 was
01:16:15.000 remarkably
01:16:15.620 sycophantic
01:16:16.360 for someone
01:16:16.860 like
01:16:17.100 Oprah
01:16:17.400 I mean
01:16:17.740 she
01:16:18.000 you
01:16:18.380 know
01:16:18.580 that
01:16:19.180 was
01:16:19.660 incredible
01:16:20.040 the
01:16:20.580 other
01:16:20.740 thing
01:16:20.980 that
01:16:21.140 I'm
01:16:21.320 so
01:16:21.520 glad
01:16:21.700 you
01:16:21.840 brought
01:16:22.040 up
01:16:22.240 that
01:16:22.460 the
01:16:22.880 assertion
01:16:23.420 that
01:16:23.660 Megan
01:16:24.560 made
01:16:24.860 that

01:16:43.840 do
01:16:44.540 you
01:16:44.700 think
01:16:44.960 that
01:16:45.220 if
01:16:45.540 that
01:16:46.380 had
01:16:46.900 been
01:16:47.260 printed
01:16:48.160 anywhere
01:16:48.860 aired
01:16:49.600 anywhere
01:16:50.080 that
01:16:50.340 that
01:16:50.560 wouldn't
01:16:50.840 be
01:16:51.040 a
01:16:51.300 huge
01:16:51.840 story
01:16:52.400 that
01:16:53.040 even
01:16:53.280 people
01:16:53.640 who
01:16:53.840 are
01:16:53.960 not
01:16:54.160 fans
01:16:54.560 of
01:16:54.700 Meghan
01:16:54.900 Markle
01:16:55.260 would
01:16:55.460 find
01:16:55.740 that
01:16:55.900 offensive
01:16:56.300 and
01:16:56.740 wrong
01:16:57.080 you
01:16:57.740 know
01:16:57.960 I
01:16:58.340 mean
01:16:58.560 she
01:16:58.860 she
01:16:59.260 she's
01:17:00.300 not
01:17:00.480 nearly
01:17:00.840 as
01:17:01.100 smart
01:17:01.340 as
01:17:01.500 she
01:17:01.680 believes
01:17:02.280 herself
01:17:02.620 to
01:17:02.820 be
01:17:02.960 because
01:17:03.260 she
01:17:03.520 makes
01:17:04.040 up
01:17:04.220 these
01:17:04.420 lies
01:17:04.760 that

01:19:38.960 for it
01:19:39.420 God

01:19:39.800 why
01:19:40.200 and he
01:19:40.500 says
01:19:40.700 to
01:19:43.660 he
01:19:43.700 was
01:19:43.820 clearly
01:19:44.240 just
01:19:44.500 rattling
01:19:44.900 around
01:19:45.440 hapless
01:19:45.960 and helpless
01:19:46.760 and
01:19:47.420 and my
01:19:48.580 other
01:19:48.820 favorite
01:19:49.120 was the
01:19:49.520 school run
01:19:50.280 another
01:19:51.500 lie
01:19:51.940 and
01:19:52.400 this
01:19:52.740 great
01:19:53.700 detail
01:19:54.220 she's
01:19:54.520 gotten
01:19:54.760 there
01:19:55.020 where
01:19:55.180 these
01:19:55.380 two
01:19:55.780 mothers
01:19:56.240 waiting
01:19:56.640 for their
01:19:57.040 kids
01:19:57.280 to do
01:19:57.460 a
01:19:57.560 double
01:19:57.820 take
01:19:58.180 and
01:19:58.780 it
01:19:59.120 doesn't
01:19:59.500 seem
01:19:59.780 that
01:19:59.920 it's
01:20:00.100 because
01:20:00.380 they
01:20:00.580 can't
01:20:00.840 believe
01:20:01.780 the
01:20:02.020 Meghan
01:20:02.360 Markle
01:20:02.840 is
01:20:03.100 in
01:20:03.220 their
01:20:03.340 presence
01:20:03.680 it's
01:20:03.920 because
01:20:04.100 they
01:20:04.220 probably
01:20:04.500 never
01:20:04.920 see
01:20:05.220 her
01:20:05.540 pick
01:20:06.560 up
01:20:06.820 it's
01:20:07.200 probably
01:20:07.720 the
01:20:07.960 nanny
01:20:08.340 and
01:20:09.440 then
01:20:09.580 of
01:20:09.760 course

01:22:07.140 the
01:22:07.280 thing
01:22:07.540 that
01:22:07.700 she
01:22:07.860 is
01:22:08.020 most
01:22:08.500 embittered
01:22:09.320 about
01:22:09.680 angry
01:22:10.500 about
01:22:10.920 she
01:22:11.100 spends
01:22:11.400 all
01:22:11.760 of
01:22:11.880 her
01:22:11.960 time
01:22:12.200 now
01:22:12.500 criticizing
01:22:13.580 the
01:22:13.900 royal
01:22:14.120 family
01:22:14.640 which
01:22:15.260 is
01:22:15.380 the
01:22:15.540 only
01:22:15.800 reason
01:22:16.280 anyone
01:22:16.960 gives
01:22:17.380 a damn
01:22:18.140 about
01:22:18.620 her
01:22:18.900 right
01:22:19.600 and I
01:22:20.100 think
01:22:20.260 she's
01:22:20.520 run
01:22:20.780 out
01:22:20.960 of
01:22:21.100 material
01:22:21.560 quite
01:22:21.900 frankly
01:22:22.260 you
01:22:22.900 know
01:22:23.180 she's
01:22:24.100 always
01:22:24.280 alluding
01:22:24.780 to
01:22:25.260 well
01:22:26.120 there's
01:22:26.360 things
01:22:26.600 I
01:22:26.780 might
01:22:27.280 say
01:22:28.000 you
01:22:28.300 know
01:22:28.520 the
01:22:29.080 way
01:22:29.720 the
01:22:29.860 piece
01:22:30.140 ends
01:22:30.400 she
01:22:30.600 says
01:22:30.800 like
01:22:30.960 you
01:22:31.080 know
01:22:31.180 I'm
01:22:31.320 quiet
01:22:31.760 until
01:22:32.140 I'm
01:22:32.340 not
01:22:32.840 you
01:22:33.580 know
01:22:33.800 I've
01:22:34.040 been
01:22:34.180 she
01:22:34.500 didn't
01:22:35.720 sign
01:22:35.940 anything
01:22:36.540 yeah she
01:22:37.120 alluded
01:22:37.460 she's been
01:22:37.880 keeping a
01:22:38.360 journal
01:22:38.600 I mean
01:22:38.980 I think
01:22:39.380 that the
01:22:39.720 royals
01:22:40.120 had her
01:22:40.500 number
01:22:40.780 pretty
01:22:41.140 early
01:22:41.640 on
01:22:42.100 I think
01:22:42.540 they
01:22:42.680 probably
01:22:43.080 limited
01:22:43.560 her
01:22:43.820 access
01:22:44.200 to
01:22:44.820 anything
01:22:45.900 of
01:22:46.460 real
01:22:46.840 you know
01:22:47.420 the only
01:22:47.920 thing
01:22:48.100 she's
01:22:48.320 got
01:22:48.480 is
01:22:48.740 whatever
01:22:50.600 relational
01:22:53.320 difficulties
01:22:53.940 exist
01:22:54.420 between
01:22:54.780 the
01:22:54.940 brothers
01:22:55.320 you know
01:22:56.000 and
01:22:57.020 I also
01:22:58.480 thought
01:22:58.740 it was
01:22:58.980 pretty
01:22:59.220 great
01:22:59.600 when
01:22:59.920 the
01:23:00.580 palace
01:23:01.340 sort
01:23:02.120 of
01:23:02.260 refuted
01:23:02.700 that
01:23:02.920 claim
01:23:03.240 that
01:23:03.380 she
01:23:03.520 made
01:23:03.720 in
01:23:03.820 the
01:23:03.920 Oprah
01:23:04.140 interview
01:23:04.580 about
01:23:05.040 Kate
01:23:05.880 making
01:23:06.200 her
01:23:06.360 cry
01:23:06.740 you know
01:23:07.660 and
01:23:07.820 she
01:23:08.040 did
01:23:08.240 the
01:23:08.600 thing
01:23:08.800 that
01:23:08.940 she
01:23:09.080 always
01:23:09.340 does
01:23:09.580 and
01:23:09.700 she's
01:23:09.920 never
01:23:10.100 as
01:23:10.320 delicate
01:23:10.640 about
01:23:10.960 it
01:23:11.080 as
01:23:11.220 she
01:23:11.340 thinks
01:23:11.540 she
01:23:11.720 is
01:23:11.900 she
01:23:12.020 is
01:23:12.120 you
01:23:12.240 know
01:23:12.320 I
01:23:12.760 couldn't
01:23:12.960 possibly
01:23:13.460 talk
01:23:13.780 badly
01:23:14.060 about
01:23:14.320 my
01:23:14.500 sister
01:23:14.740 in law
01:23:14.960 but
01:23:15.120 just
01:23:15.240 let me
01:23:15.460 talk
01:23:15.720 about
01:23:15.960 her
01:23:16.080 like
01:23:16.400 let me
01:23:17.380 criticize
01:23:17.780 her
01:23:29.920 the
01:23:30.060 time
01:23:30.240 was
01:23:30.360 three
01:23:30.600 Kate
01:23:30.980 and
01:23:31.180 William's
01:23:31.840 daughter
01:23:32.340 who
01:23:32.880 was
01:23:33.080 going
01:23:33.220 to be
01:23:33.380 a
01:23:33.520 bridesmaid
01:23:34.060 she
01:23:34.200 was
01:23:34.340 bullying
01:23:34.800 her
01:23:35.100 because
01:23:35.500 she
01:23:35.860 wasn't
01:23:36.560 up to
01:23:37.200 snuff
01:23:37.520 I suppose
01:23:38.060 and
01:23:38.640 Kate
01:23:39.420 cried
01:23:40.020 and then
01:23:40.660 went over
01:23:41.420 with a
01:23:41.860 peace
01:23:42.140 offering
01:23:42.560 she
01:23:42.880 went over
01:23:43.400 to
01:23:44.100 the
01:23:44.740 apartment
01:23:45.160 that
01:23:45.560 Meghan
01:23:45.860 shared
01:23:46.080 with
01:23:46.240 Harry
01:23:46.520 and
01:23:46.720 brought
01:23:46.900 flowers
01:23:47.400 and
01:23:47.760 Meghan
01:23:48.440 took
01:23:48.760 the
01:23:48.960 flowers
01:23:49.460 threw
01:23:49.760 them
01:23:49.980 in
01:23:50.100 the
01:23:50.260 trash
01:23:50.620 and
01:23:50.900 slammed
01:23:51.500 the
01:23:51.700 door
01:23:52.020 in
01:23:52.440 Kate
01:23:52.620 Middleton's
01:23:53.100 face
01:23:53.400 I
01:23:53.700 mean
01:23:53.940 that
01:23:55.140 is
01:23:55.320 a
01:23:55.420 version
01:23:55.660 of
01:23:55.800 events
01:23:56.080 I
01:23:56.200 find
01:23:56.440 much
01:23:57.100 more
01:23:57.280 credible
01:23:57.620 me
01:23:58.220 too
01:23:58.460 because
01:23:58.840 she
01:23:59.500 she
01:23:59.780 thinks
01:24:00.020 if
01:24:00.160 we
01:24:00.260 just
01:24:00.400 know
01:24:00.640 her
01:24:00.840 again
01:24:01.140 like
01:24:01.340 we're
01:24:01.460 gonna
01:24:01.560 like
01:24:01.780 her
01:24:01.920 okay
01:24:02.460 show
01:24:02.680 me
01:24:02.800 the
01:24:02.940 friends
01:24:03.200 who
01:24:03.320 know
01:24:03.560 you
01:24:03.860 who
01:24:04.280 have
01:24:04.380 stuck
01:24:04.520 by
01:24:04.740 you
01:24:04.900 who's
01:24:05.320 still
01:24:05.440 in
01:24:05.560 your
01:24:05.660 life
01:24:05.960 there's
01:24:06.560 not
01:24:06.680 even
01:24:06.800 a
01:24:06.900 family
01:24:07.140 member
01:24:07.440 they're
01:24:07.840 all
01:24:08.020 gone
01:24:08.300 everyone
01:24:09.040 who
01:24:09.280 knew
01:24:09.460 you
01:24:09.800 either
01:24:10.360 fled
01:24:10.720 from
01:24:11.120 you
01:24:11.360 or
01:24:11.720 they
01:24:12.020 were
01:24:12.140 dumped
01:24:12.400 by
01:24:12.640 you
01:24:12.800 because
01:24:13.040 they
01:24:13.220 weren't
01:24:13.440 famous
01:24:13.780 they
01:24:13.940 weren't
01:24:25.420 and
01:24:25.640 on
01:24:25.760 the
01:24:25.880 subject
01:24:26.120 of
01:24:26.240 the
01:24:26.400 lies
01:24:26.880 I
01:24:27.160 thought
01:24:27.320 the
01:24:27.440 one
01:24:27.560 you
01:24:27.640 were
01:24:27.700 going
01:24:27.780 to
01:24:27.840 mention
01:24:28.020 earlier
01:24:28.360 that
01:24:30.020 she
01:24:30.420 claimed
01:24:31.000 she
01:24:31.620 can't
01:24:32.580 have
01:24:32.880 this
01:24:33.080 life
01:24:33.440 in
01:24:33.680 London
01:24:34.020 of
01:24:34.320 dropping
01:24:34.620 her
01:24:34.800 children
01:24:35.060 off
01:24:35.320 at
01:24:35.460 school
01:24:35.720 which
01:24:35.960 she
01:24:36.100 conveniently
01:24:36.520 brought
01:24:36.820 the
01:24:37.000 cut
01:24:37.180 reporter
01:24:37.500 to
01:24:37.780 because
01:24:38.740 I
01:24:39.240 would
01:24:39.400 have
01:24:39.560 40
01:24:39.860 photographers
01:24:40.400 taking
01:24:40.740 photos
01:24:41.240 in a
01:24:41.500 press
01:24:41.820 pen
01:24:42.020 if I
01:24:42.280 wanted
01:24:42.460 to
01:24:42.640 drop
01:24:42.860 Archie
01:24:43.260 at

01:24:44.140 in
01:24:44.280 the
01:24:44.400 UK
01:24:44.680 meanwhile
01:24:45.600 my
01:24:46.280 friend
01:24:46.560 Dan
01:24:47.000 wouldn't
01:24:47.740 who
01:24:48.080 has

01:24:50.340 Kate
01:24:50.500 drop
01:24:50.760 off

01:24:51.140 pick
01:24:51.280 up
01:24:51.400 their
01:24:51.500 three
01:24:51.700 kids
01:24:52.040 including
01:24:52.780 the
01:24:53.000 future
01:24:53.260 king
01:24:53.500 of

01:24:55.480 every

01:25:15.660 the
01:25:15.740 kids
01:25:16.000 there

01:25:17.280 UK
01:25:17.600 paper

01:25:19.060 it

01:25:20.140 wants
01:25:20.460 us
01:25:20.600 to
01:25:20.760 believe
01:25:21.180 she's
01:25:21.720 like
01:25:21.900 a
01:25:22.120 beetle
01:25:22.480 who
01:25:23.060 can't
01:25:23.380 right
01:25:23.740 right
01:25:25.000 right
01:25:25.600 and
01:25:26.040 and
01:25:26.300 and
01:25:26.600 to
01:25:27.520 the
01:25:28.120 beetles
01:25:28.940 it's
01:25:29.220 her
01:25:29.940 whole
01:25:30.380 bit
01:25:30.980 about
01:25:31.320 I
01:25:31.660 didn't
01:25:32.160 know
01:25:32.340 who
01:25:32.540 Prince
01:25:32.800 Harry
01:25:33.040 was
01:25:33.520 I
01:25:33.720 never
01:25:34.260 heard
01:25:34.620 of
01:25:34.760 the
01:25:34.860 Queen
01:25:35.080 mother
01:25:35.360 you know
01:25:35.680 it's
01:25:35.780 like
01:25:35.900 in this
01:25:41.960 heard
01:25:42.180 of
01:25:42.320 John
01:25:42.560 Lennon
01:25:42.880 who
01:25:43.060 are
01:25:43.220 the
01:25:43.380 beetles
01:25:43.940 yes
01:25:45.160 and
01:25:45.520 she
01:25:45.700 also
01:25:46.020 broke
01:25:46.280 up
01:25:46.420 the
01:25:46.540 band
01:25:46.860 yes
01:25:47.840 yes
01:25:48.360 yes
01:25:48.740 so
01:25:48.960 I
01:25:49.140 mean
01:25:49.320 you
01:25:49.780 know
01:25:50.020 that's
01:25:50.720 and
01:25:50.860 you're
01:25:51.320 completely
01:25:51.800 right
01:25:52.100 about
01:25:52.340 Megan
01:25:52.620 not
01:25:52.860 understanding
01:25:53.420 why
01:25:53.820 she's
01:25:54.580 not
01:25:54.820 liked
01:25:55.240 why
01:25:55.600 let
01:25:56.240 alone
01:25:56.540 beloved
01:25:57.280 you
01:25:57.740 know
01:25:57.960 and
01:25:58.280 I
01:25:59.080 don't
01:25:59.300 think
01:25:59.480 it's
01:25:59.640 any
01:25:59.860 accident
01:26:00.280 that
01:26:00.820 her
01:26:01.560 podcast
01:26:02.320 drops
01:26:02.840 and
01:26:03.100 then
01:26:03.300 the
01:26:03.720 cut
01:26:04.440 cover
01:26:04.940 story
01:26:05.480 is
01:26:06.160 published
01:26:06.740 two
01:26:07.540 days
01:26:07.880 before
01:26:08.360 today
01:26:09.360 the
01:26:10.080 25th
01:26:11.040 anniversary
01:26:11.560 of
01:26:11.960 princess
01:26:12.120 diana's
01:26:12.580 death
01:26:12.880 that's
01:26:13.520 exactly
01:26:13.840 right
01:26:14.180 she
01:26:14.640 wanted
01:26:15.320 to be
01:26:15.840 in
01:26:16.240 the
01:26:16.420 news
01:26:16.880 she
01:26:17.580 wanted
01:26:17.840 to
01:26:18.040 step
01:26:18.280 on
01:26:18.480 princess
01:26:18.760 diana's
01:26:19.380 anniversary
01:26:19.920 she
01:26:20.360 wants us
01:26:20.760 to think
01:26:21.080 she is
01:26:21.420 princess
01:26:21.740 diana
01:26:22.160 which is
01:26:22.540 never
01:26:22.700 going to
01:26:22.940 happen
01:26:23.220 instead
01:26:23.880 of as
01:26:24.240 you write
01:26:24.540 in your
01:26:24.720 piece
01:26:25.020 what she
01:26:25.580 really
01:26:25.840 is
01:26:26.120 a
01:26:26.460 kardashian
01:26:27.120 and by
01:26:27.760 the way
01:26:28.040 you
01:26:28.220 undersold
01:26:28.760 your
01:26:28.940 comment
01:26:29.280 earlier
01:26:29.640 which
01:26:29.880 I
01:26:30.100 read
01:26:30.380 out
01:26:30.640 loud
01:26:30.840 to
01:26:30.940 my
01:26:31.040 husband
01:26:31.280 I
01:26:31.480 thought
01:26:31.960 it
01:26:32.060 was
01:26:32.140 so
01:26:32.280 funny
01:26:32.640 this
01:26:33.380 is
01:26:33.560 Maureen
01:26:34.000 again
01:26:34.680 the
01:26:41.960 opposition
01:26:42.340 to
01:26:42.620 her
01:26:42.860 waning
01:26:43.320 relevance
01:26:43.860 she
01:26:44.420 clearly
01:26:44.780 has
01:26:45.100 no
01:26:45.320 real
01:26:45.580 friends
01:26:45.960 left
01:26:46.300 or
01:26:46.900 even
01:26:47.200 decent
01:26:47.540 publicists
01:26:48.160 because
01:26:48.480 anyone
01:26:49.220 with an
01:26:49.780 iota
01:26:50.240 of common
01:26:50.760 sense
01:26:51.140 would say
01:26:51.700 you know
01:26:52.420 Megan
01:26:52.780 it's
01:26:53.560 probably
01:26:53.920 best
01:26:54.260 not to
01:26:54.700 compare
01:26:55.060 yourself
01:26:55.540 to
01:26:55.760 nelson
01:26:56.120 exactly
01:26:59.340 right
01:27:00.500 she has
01:27:01.160 no
01:27:01.360 friends
01:27:01.780 she has
01:27:02.400 no
01:27:02.560 people
01:27:03.000 and
01:27:03.640 there's
01:27:03.860 a
01:27:04.000 reason
01:27:04.240 for
01:27:04.420 that
01:27:04.720 yes
01:27:06.180 and
01:27:06.500 but
01:27:06.740 you know
01:27:07.040 the
01:27:07.380 upside
01:27:07.980 is
01:27:08.280 we
01:27:08.500 get
01:27:08.840 gems
01:27:09.860 like
01:27:10.220 that
01:27:10.660 you know
01:27:11.540 there was
01:27:11.960 dancing

01:27:15.560 in
01:27:15.940 and
01:27:16.580 i'm
01:27:16.940 most
01:27:17.220 reminiscent
01:27:17.700 of
01:27:18.380 nelson
01:27:19.320 mandela
01:27:19.800 who
01:27:20.040 else
01:27:20.440 who
01:27:20.740 else
